Here are a couple of little faties that I built up around 2006 Manta ray frames. These critters are a blast to tool around on. 8)

Those bikes are definitely cool looking.

I've got to ask, sis you lace up any of those wheels? If so, is it any harder than lacing a regular 2" wide wheel?

Thanks guys.

The lacing is the same as any three-cross wheel. These small diameter, wide rims are awfully imprecise, so there is a limit how true they can be gotten.

These for the kids or can an adult fit them ok? we have those mongoose fattys on 20s here in the UK and if one comes up cheap I would love to build one of these up like this they look great!
