I had to get rid of my 13' long skid bike due to lack of storage space. With the Midwest Bicycle Fest less than two weeks out I need to rush a build. My stock of parts was decimated by a recent move and severe decrease in storage space so I really had to hustle to find something. I couldn't find an old beater to use on short notice so I hit up garagegoon and spent a couple days negotiating on this clean project he had stalled out on.
As purchased
Due to my space constraints at the moment I have to lose a bike in order to add one to the collection. My motorized bike drew the short straw and was parted out to add the Colson. I also swiped some parts from my '04 DiamondBack Joker for now.
I also picked up this NOS Texas Special badge from http://www.porkchopbmx.com a while back and have been waiting to find just the right bike for it. The paint scheme on the bike told me the time was right.
The wheel set off the motor bike will find a home on here and I am thinking that some red tires will make it eventually as well.
After the fest the bike will get the correct forks and a proper build up, but for now I got a plan.
