Yeah that's right I want to be one of the cool cats with the grown up length BMX bikes. I discovered how fun the small bikes are when my boys got an unidentified 1970s looptail rolling and I started riding it. It has been deemed too old and cool to cut up though and I really need something a bit longer than an 18" top tube for my 6' body.
I picked this old free spirit out of my buddies scrap pile and got it rolling. It will go under the knife and undergo a bit of a frame stretch while I atempt to keep angles and geometry in line and then add a few MTB bits like better brakes, fatter seat post etc to help cope with my 190lb self. I have a decent Akisu fork to throw in there too.
I am shooting for a mix of old school BMX style with a bit of trials bike and freestyle mixed in. We'll see how it goes...
