Nice idea with the frame chop...I have a GT same frame style,turned it into a 26' bmx...Nothing as fancy as this.

I know not much time left at all and still so much to do i spent most of the time prepping the frame for paint it turns out it was a powder coated frame so lots of time spent sanding
but the worst waste of time was my idea to mount the spring to the v-brake the way i had made it work ended up not working
Since i have had so much on my mind i forgot to mock up with the tires on and it turned out the tires where to wide for what i made
so here is where i am at with the painted frame (blue fork is stand in until the regular one finishes drying) and the bent bmx seat post that needs to be shortened
then there is the sprocket that needs to modified to fit the crank
and the pedals (which i got lucky and had this single pair with the larger thread) that need have the old blocks removed and the waffle ones cut and bolted in
In case you wondering about the new name
since this has a diamond theme i decided to do a play on words since diamonds have facets
I hope to finish but right now its 50-50 kinda like the color of my bike
