That is awesome! The closest to me is about 5 miles away. If it was any closer it would be dangerous!

Fire bolt frame is a beauty, best tyre I've had to date was 26x2.3 Crazy Bob. They look way bigger than they are and have a cool skate park tread block pattern. I'd stick a pair on Indecision if I had a few more readies to spend.

Thanks @Uncle Fide , Unfortunately you can barely fit 2.125 tires on firebolt frames. The rims have to be true too, as there is only about a paper width on each side after installing them.

Best. Name. EVER!

Squeezed them into mine and my rims were bent. Straightened them by eye! It's in my sig...

I like your plan and the name is great. Heard about all the micro breweries up there Wow!

Think I saw a picture of yours at Lake Superior on Weather Nation, what that you?

Looking forward to seeing what you decide for the build

 

[DeuceWheeler]

Thanks everyone!

Decided to use the Firebolt Frame officially.
The weather has absolutely sucked around here lately. I am itching to lay down some paint and get this project rolling!

Picked up some bright blue and silver metallic paint.

Not much progress, but the BMX fork came today and I have to say that I'm liking the aggressive look the fork gives the firebolt frame with the Kenda Small Block 8's.

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

yup, that is a killer look.

Sweeeeet but this talk of "Growlers" is confusing to this Englishman, check what I've pointed out in Kim_Dude's thread for the reason!

Thanks man, I am going to try cleaning up the frame, painting a couple layers of silver over it, then bright blue, then patinia-ing it.

Or, I might have it powdercoated charcoal. Not sure if I want a ratty or clean look but am going to try the patina'd look first and if I don't like it, it will go in for powder.

Not planning on going bright, but if I did......

 

[DeuceWheeler]

I just think it loses it's toughness with bright colors.
