Mondo Shock

[rev106]

26 inch tribute to 1970's era mono shock bmx bikes. Scratch built frame, fork, stem and seat. The look I was going for was the bike hand been found in a backyard after many decades of neglect.

Araya 7C rims?

Strong Work!

 

[rev106]

I think so. All 70's stuff I gather....

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Nailed it! Fantastic build

You achieved your goal, got the look you were going after; and with the ride vids and history of your involvement with the sport, really pushed it over the top! Kudos on this 'ground-up' build!

Yes sir, pretty much nailed it. The narrative behind a thing gives it weight I think, Excalibur would just be another sword if it did not have a story behind it.

Awesome machine!

I wonder how this thing rides. Does the suspension/frame go down a bit when using the coasterbrake?

It works really well. I tested it on Mt. Wilson toll road in a coaster brake only race, 9 miles downhill. Went way faster than I wanted it to go that is for sure!!!!

Nice to see you with a skidlid on bomber runs where you intend on Ludicrous Speed. I don't wear a helmet all of the time, but when it's time to deal (especially in the dirt), I try to keep my nugget from getting scrambled any further.

That thing is just too cool! Well done!

Yes, I don't use one that much either and when I do, I ride with more reckless abandon than normal.

I would ride the tires off of this bike. Great looks and adult size to boot. Sweet Ride!

Love it! Can we see some shots of it in different backgrounds for voting?

I really appreciate how that cool shock assembly mimics a straightbar! Sweet.

Love the concept, and the execution. Awesome job on the build

No, it has a very smooth travel arc. I think 1970's bmx technology had suspension pretty nailed, it takes a whole industry to mess up now.
