Im so tired of seeing these retarded junk scooter things i want to bring back the og scooter

I just need to figure out how to have it done

My idea so far is ask standard about making the frame, 4pc bars and fork for it and to use an eighteen inch wheel base

For wheels im thinking 18 sun rynolite xl rims laced to daily grind front hubs (don't need a rear wheel)
and get 4 pegs for it

Testimony and apologies





I want everyone to know that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins, he went to hell for three days and defeated death and rose from the grave on the 3rd day.
