is my bike ugly? I fell like I wasted my money.

Looks ok. Would look better if rim color was a better match.

Just dial it and ride it until you break shit

It's only a waste of money if the parts suck. Trust me when I say I've seen a lot worse

Dude run what you got! as long as it rolls your good.

its ugly yes but it gets the job done

Just angle that seat down a bit and ride the bike til shit breaks then replace it with nicer looking parts. If your new to bmx then you'll find out fast that when it comes to bmx bikes, function always over form

i second the motion, just ride until it breaks then replace the broken parts 1 by 1. just keep those broken parts so that if you get bored you can look at it and remind of your old parts, this will make you value your new parts more.

would look better with front brakes

Would look better put through a wood chipper

Because how a bike looks is so much more important than how it's rode

who gives a shit, ride it

I would remove those rear brakes if you arent using them. that would look better
