So I ended up with quite a few frames in the last month. I had a btm and a benny l as well as my ivy 5 and this kink i wanted to make my main build. Well i got thrown a curve ball and got my hipster mustache aka Terribleone Barcode.

The barcode is nice despite my geo preferences. I also got tall t bars for it and will be getting a 28 or 29 tooth sprocket due to xhain slap with the 25t no matter how tight the chain is.
Anyway that wasnt the main build. The btm i had was a temporary beater to keep from killing the ivy 5. I also ended up with a benny and indents that i got for $40 i flipped those though. I fully intended to build the kink up because i wanted to do one for a while now. I was going to get a raw or black kink titan but i ended up with a tocco v2 locally which is the same as the titan except for the standover being different.

Definitely loving the aesthetics, because small bar and a frontload to me is a good look. Also it reminds me of the trailblazers colors. Hence the title. This is a great feeling bike.

I like that stuff! Looks all good, how did you like that barcode and is that little bearing cup damage thing annoying to fix or no? What method did you use?

But really they are seriously amazing rides.

The barcode would have been awesome if i was just into going fast on that only. Unfortunately that isnt the case i still enjoy cettain tricks all the time and if i cant do them or find an issue doing them i lose interest in the frame if its a frame issue. With the barcode i always liked the frame just hated the rear end length. Upon riding it i felt good. After a slew of 3s all landing the same way i took the dremel to the back end potentially commiting bmx suicide but as i said i like this frame. The dropouts are now 13.5 slammed and it rides like a fucking dream. As far as the headtube cups i had a few frames with that issue before its really just as simple as holding the bearing a certain way before giving it a nice whack with a rubber mallet. Thats it. Then what i do is push the bearing on the dented part with the steering tube of the fork before i put in the spacer that goes between the bearing and fork tube. Its a lazy way of fixing it but i have limited tools. I went off a bit but yea, barcode is nice even better now.

Thanks, im glad i have one now. I hope to eventually make it look the way i want it to but right now it is good. The plan is to get another set of wheels for the kink and the madera suns will go on the T1. At this point im a few parts away from having two completes so i might as well go all the way.
