It's complicated...

I imagine what happened here was the filter between Joel's brain and the outside world shut down momentarily, and we all got a brief glimpse of what it's like on the other side of those dark eyes...

Movie? For maximum radness, you gotta embrace the future. Video games are going to be big

Wow. Serious? The cover of a nintendo game was edited out of my post because it was too racy? That is crazy. Guess I'll try the C64 version.

Has Matti been inspired to start his build yet or his he just yanking the chain again .

We should have a Armageddon build off .
You never know when your last build might be ?

I dunno if they're still at it, but up to a few years ago, they were making 29er versions

Matti likes mags. Matti likes cromo.

Being an eighties punk, Matti is amused by CRMO Mags
Being an eighties skater, Matti is amused by Thrasher Mag

Pretty sure my brother had that exact bike from the brochure with the red mags. I still remember the chainstay sticker that said CR MO MAG. Of course, it didn't look like the brochure illustration for long... pic to come soon.

The same brother was also a skater who got Thrasher Mag. Still has his old Vision Gator. I vaguely remember reading the column Skarfing Material.

I love this pic and I post it every chance I get. That's my brother on the right on his '82(ish... maybe 83?) Predator. Other bike is maybe a PK Ripper?

I had this on VHS and must have watched it hundreds of times

If anyone figures out how to adjust the tracking on their browser let me know

I dunno much about general, but I am going to look at one of their frames here in abit. Seems like they were a short lived company?

Started about 82. Didn't do much until 87 when RL joined and then they were booming. Hustlers, Fred Blood models are great bikes

Well, heres my new general!
26" bmx cruiser!
I never saw one. It was poorly labeled and in the middle of nowhere. But I LOVE loop tails, and to find a 26" bmx 80s looptail for what I did makes me happy.

General Catalina plus 6
6 speed index shifters, sumo wheels.

I got a sram/sachs p5 interal I'm thinking of refreshing this.

Looks just like a Jamis Boss Cruiser . Good find .

What's the difference between a 6 speed, 26", bmx cruiser and a 80s/90s mountain bike?

Hmmm, good question. The intent? The overall "downhilley-ness?
Follow up question:
What is the difference between an 80s/90s mountain bike and a gravel bike?
