Pretty shocked on the price. I had fun doing this. Let me know what you guys think and what you would change with a budget of less than $1000.

Solid build! I'd bet coupon codes would knock that down decently too!

This looks like a damn fine bike. I personally would add in brakes, and get a 7075. i'd also probably get Machete tires, since they're more dirt friendly.

That seems about right haha a long time ago when I'd get bored, I'd play on Danscomp, Albes & Empire bmx and make up the cheapest good bike I could make, most expensive, lightest, heaviest, etc.
Definitely doesn't seem like that bad of a bike at all either

i'd just switch to the cadence due to top tube length and metal pedals because i hate plastics. great deal on the fork/bars but those bar specs wouldn't work for me at all so those would be my only MUSTS for things to change.

In Trans black just 20.5 available. However I do have one in 21" in that "stainless steel" finish hanging on the wall in the retail store I can get you for $259.95 if you are into it.
