monark silver king Americana with new improved BMX flavor

[trktwo]

heres my new rider, thanks spinman! awesome member! i pretty much have a bmx background, but too old to do many tricks, just ride! my 20" bikes are feeling small, i have been experimenting with some other frames, but i think this is the right combination for me. i will prob'ly change the fork, so that i can add a front brake. this thing rides so awesome, it is crazy. i have no plans to refinish it, did i mention that it rides so awesome? thanks spinman!

Nice! 8) I think I'd run the cable on the top tube for a cleaner look and less exposure. :|

That looks awesome. A Tange - style 26" tubular BMX fork (or maybe one of the SE Landing Gear units) would set that thing off perfectly.

Who made that sprocket! I want one---for a motomag rat

O I see ---s&m 43t motoman sprocket---gotta get one!

yeah sprocket is awesome, and this bike is fully trick.

I like how you mounted the rear brake...that's a good idea.

Fyi, the Americana was a 55-57ish Middleweight, probably intended to compete w/Scwinn's American. I have a stock ladies' that's going to be a donor for a mens frame.
