Done for now..

Damn, that looks really nice.

i dig. sweet pic of it too.

Thank's I got the Eastern Ultra Slim forks cause they were dirt cheap and had 14mm dropouts and ability to run front brakes. I've heard many mixed reviews on them and a lot of ppl knock Eastern but so far I like em. I may be the only one running front brakes only but damnit I like it! Ha.

my dude, this is bad ass

Should post a photo with normal color!

Nice! How's then stem doing for you? I was thinking about getting it.

That's about as close to normal color as it gets. Just brightened it up because poor lighting.

As for the stem. I really like it. Its a bit heavy but I don't mind. I would rather it be solid. And also it's 55mm and thats the main reason I bought it. That and it is a top load and was dirt cheap.

Here is another picture toned down not as bright.

That's not too bad. What size are the tires? Like 1.75 and 65 PSI?

2.125 35 psi ha

I like dirt. But everything is all good to.. will get better tires eventually but diggin the old school. Next is some new cranks.. think I'm gonna go with 160 - 165s.

Into doing whips and stuff now. Love running the front brake.. makes me still have that go for it attitude but also makes other lil shit I like a lil easier. I just got back into riding.. this is a mix between what I used to like with some new school.. been thinking of 4 PC bars but I really like these United's.

BTW. Yes 4 pegs. I like doing bar spins from the rears and like messing with flatland type stuff.. Like dirt a lot but don't always get to ride dirt.

Not bad, love the casket i have one im trying to sell. which mac complete frame is it?

Its the Mac 2 frame. 21 in top tube. Yeah I saw that listing for the Casket; Blaaaa should snatch it up. There are lighter stems but this thing is like a tank ha.. I like it.. I was running an Odyssey Bang front load old school stem. It is also like a tank. Went well with my Odyssey parts.. but this Casket gives me just a little more room and I like how it looks. I like old school and the wheels were also a steal. The Original Hazards like new for $40 for the pair. Just picked up the seat too.. I'm loving it. Worth every penny.

What cranks would you guys recommended? I am wanting a little shorter crank arms. Will be my next purchase. I wonder if gold arms would be to much?

I had a gold sprocket but since I got the new chain I went back to black.

I realize their are better bikes. The local kids with the nano sprockets, 3 pegs and slammed seats just think I'm an old dude.. I am.. ha.. 32. I may not be the best but least I'm stupid. Haha.. Surprisingly the bike is still pretty light. I haven't weighed it but it ain't shit compared to my old bikes.

dude you are not alone. Im running brakes up front too.
Hows the front b for dirt?

Not that bad at all.. will go through pads quicker.. just gotta lean back.. I loosen it up just a tad.. I'm used to it I really don't have a need for a rear brake.. I like it for just regular riding too. Plus still able to do whips and not worry about cables.

I actually met someone with those tires, he rocks a mid-school bike and he actually rides high and fast with them, it's about how you ride not what parts you have

Couldn't agree more.

Edit:

G Sport Ribcage rim with Odyssey V3 hub. I also added a set of Primo Monster tires.

I know the red doesn't match much.. but it matches my flag sticker.. ha.. had to snatch it up though.

I like it. The knobby tires took me back to my 88 Cali Pro Mongoose, and made me want some. I'm kinda used to the 100 psi I've been running though. We thought we were cool bumping our tires up to 40 when we would be riding to the next town or whatever.

Getting used to these tires is going to be rough.. ha.. I liked my knobbies

Looks rad, reminds me of my late 80's-early 90's riding days. Miss my old GT's......

Thanks a lot.. maybe this is my way of reliving my youth.. ha.. The Dyno, GT, Mongoose days were the best! I just bought some Fit 24mm cranks. I've been thinking, can't decide if I should add some more red to the mix to tie in my rear wheel. I was thinking a red sprocket. Someone had suggested I go with a chrome sprocket and get red spokes on the front wheel. I paid $20 for the front Odyssey Hazard Lite with Hazard hub. The main reason I wanted it is because it has 14mm axles. So I don't really feel like messing with it. I run front brakes so I like the chrome up front. Maybe red grips? Or just leave it alone? Any suggestions?

Red sprocket, Red bar ends.
BTW. i have those same grips.Love em.

Yeah they are nice.. thanks for the tip BTW.

New cranks sprocket red brake cable.. I bought red bar ends but the looked funny.. red grips maybe.. idk
