You all probably saw my thread about needing advice, and guess what? I talked with my mom and showed her the Subrosa Street Rail. She let me get it since it is able to come apart. I also got an adjustable headset spacer, a bar of grind wax, 2 tubes, and a Stolen Halflink chain. Just waiting for the stuff to get here now, it shouldn't take too long to get here because its coming to illinois.

Nice man! When I was young I had a plastic quarter and a rail I got from Toys r us in a package for like $80. Lots of fun times had with those!

That is awesome...and not an inexpensive endeavor. I am planning on getting the same thing this summer to practice here at home as well. Was going to make my own, but after costing it out, to do it right, it would be near the same as just getting that one.

I'm going to ride this thing every chance I can, and since it comes together in 10 minutes, that will be a lot. It will give me a chance to improve my riding too. I'm stoked.

I told my mom that I could weld one with my friends dad but she didnt want to have a huge rail in the garage. So since it comes apart, its perfect. It looks like im going to be doing whatever she says for a while

Yeah, I don't mind working for it because if I think about it, that rail is fricken awesome in my opinion, and it's worth doing what my mom asks for a while. I already do anyway so it's all good.

She came outside yesterday and was watching me ride. She said "wow you really like riding that bike huh?" And I just said that it's really fun being able to put my time into something that I can do my own way.

that was a great response. Also remind her that it is good physical activity....and it is time NOT spent playing video games, drinking, doing drugs,(

Exactly. Exercise and it is teaching you to work for the results you want.

Oh gosh it's AMAZING exercise. Even better exercise because my bike weighs as much as a fricken tank.

So many of friends from the past got into drinking and drugs because they were at the park riding, that's where they met the guys(who all rose too) who got them into it.

Come ride the rails I have Mike. They aren't subrosa, but they are fun!
Check it out on FB (if you still have one that is). Or Instagram.
