No sir, that tube is about as straight as can be. The floor has been known to play with a mind on occasion. After looking at the pic I had to go check tho. You can check the pic by putting a piece of paper up to your monitor, like a straight edge.

"BMX racing began 5 minutes after the second one was built." -Karl von Drais, probably

I agree, the vector fork fits the look. Cut and faced.

Due to headset issues the fork is most likely going to be replaced. Which means I can fit larger tires. This also means some head tube resizing.

Managed to fit the sissy bars. Bending them enough to "wrap" around the rear of the saddle and clearing the axle nuts resulted in an odd look, but they fit. The first pair of bars dont have enough handle room to mount brake levers properly. The second pair of bars dont seem to feel right to...

Finished the wheels and did a mock up.

After some quiet contemplation, I remembered another 24" bike that has been built over and over again with the end process never exactly feeling "right". So the build will continue. Here we have a Team Murray FX240. The frame is the important part here. None of those parts will stay, maybe...

I ride a cruiser but most people use their everyday mtb or hybrid. Anything/one is welcome. We ride to parks and drink beers.

I'd like to use this time to announce my Entry into the ORBO. This one's got some alignment issues along with a cracked seat tube. I'll start a new thread in the ORBO section soon.

BAD NEWS, EVERYONE! So this frame was given to me for free abut 5 years ago. The rear was twisted and the brake bridge was cut out for some reason. I suspect the owner was trying to fit larger tires in it. Anyways, after a few attempts at alignment the thing cracked.

If your talking about the Robinson they are powerlite bars. I'm in Brookings, Von lives near Sioux Falls. Maybe you should find him, maybe we can cruise sometime.... speaking of which we cruise at 4:30 every Saturday here in B-Town.

I believe Von was banned some time ago.... back during the great bunny pictures debacle. He can definitely be found in other social media tho. With enough prodding, maybe, he'll come back. The list of pics there dont even do him justice. This was all before the plastic bike even. Amazing build.

Nice work. I'm from SoDak too, east river, hows about you?

Email sent. Thanks!

OK. I'll redo them there posts I'm hoping that worked

Uh Oh... Yeah I'm using google pics.

The hub has been liberated and I am left with a pretty descent double wall rim and some 254mm spokes to be used in some unknown future build.... mmmmmm, unknown future build. And Goood NEWS, Everyone. It all fits!

Hmmm.... hand built wheels are always superior to machine built. Heres one good example. Heres a comparison of spokes. 14g vs 13g or 2.0mm vs 2.34mm diameter.

Thanks! No, the wheels did not come with a shifter, but luckily my co-worker has one from a previously abandoned build, yay!

Pictured here are the donor wheels along with the new recipient parts. SE Racing J24SG rims with non machined sidewalls, perfect! It was not easy finding the correct length spokes (226 & 224). Seems that there is a gap between 212 and 228 from my regular sources. JBI had some, but only in 13...
