BMX - check my ride out

check this out, its my first custom built bmx. i spent about £125, what do ya'll think.

You wouldn't happen to have noticed a thread at the top of this forum, would you?
Could you tell me what it says?

It looks prety sweet. What type of frame is that?

what frame is that but i like the chrome :D

i would love to see you ride that and fall

i like the sprocket.

chrome is king!

its powerlite

oh ye i changed a couple of parts on it so i might post another pic if i get round to it

I think if you are going to make a seperate thread to show off your bike it had better be something really awesome.

nice bike.
have fun on it.

here they are, i just changed the freewheel, sprocket, wheels and front tire

it looks great...well except the front brakes....i believe front brakes are rather ********.....but ya nice bike

Looks great. Ignore the jerks that bust on you on the forum. Front brakes are not ********. You can do some cool things with front brakes, other than stopping faster. But you should have built a cruiser instead though. hehe just kidding.

the frame is good but the chrome screams wallmart.

thats because it's probably from walmart

thats because it's probably from walmart Your just jealous because he has a better bike than you.

looks like a nice bike, hope you enjoy riding it cuz thats the main thing... maybe some of the guys in this forum will pull the sticks out of their asses one day and realize that riding is supposed to be fun and not bash everyone all the time just because they think they are so great... just my .02

No one cares what you think, because you suck at BMX.

You've got to ask yourself why FTC didn't choose that name too.

Its called sarcasm guys, but I don't expect people of your own mental capacity to understand such fancy words... go drink another couple beers and itll be ok

Consider yourself lucky that this isn't BMXBoard.

Why didn't I?

my handlebars are worth more than that bike

my handlebars are worth more than that bike

Don't go there, I'll always win this pissing contest.

this is for bmx, man

my handlebars are worth more than that bike
Sure they are.

Sure they are.

Maybe he has a handlebar mustache :roflmao:

You thinks your so big, using big words like stick and bash. If you want to get down to mental capacity, what you said wasn't sarcasm. Sarcasm is an ironic statement. What's ironic about "they have sticks up their asses." That's pretty straight forward. Also, you said "expect people" meaning plural so you should have said "people of your mental capacity", and left out the own meaning singular. The people who responded to you are being silly, it has nothing to do with their "mental capacity."

I think your a BMX poser.

sxe or darin?

If you are talking about me, I couldn't imagine what you would be basing that on. I didnt' even mention bmx in my last post. And the whole poser thing is pretty old. You either ride or you dont. I've been riding for 5 years, there for I ride.

sxe or darin?

I'm not sure what a poser would be. Someone that doesn't ride a BMX bike at all, or doesn't ride well, or doesn't race, or just rides with other that ride well and or race. I'm probably 1/2 poser myself. I like to ride BMX. I don't do any trick to speak of. I used to do a pretty mean table top. But they don't seem to impresive anymore. I like to jump, but not too high. I don't ride with any other bmx'ers, other than my son. And it's a great way to spend time together. Plus he works with me one day a week. Anyway, in the category of "poser" I'd probly fit the bill in many eys around here. At least in the hardcore rider's eyes. But to the average guy, I like to think I can fit in. I'm not to proud to lose, and have fun doing it.

Sure they are.

that bike is worth $50 at most

i dont exactly have the money to buy expensive parts like you because i still go to school and the only income is my paper round money

I'm in 11th grade, buddy.

i dont want an expensive bike because im like still a beginner

I was talking about my name being sarcastic, not what I said about people having sticks up their asses... I'm sorry for not clarifying. And Marcus, I think its smart to not spend alot of money if you're a beginner.


I've been riding for 5 years, there for I ride.
While we're criticising each other for pointless reasons, the word you were looking for would be therefore. :D

It's doesn't matter how much your bike is worth. The most expensive bike around won't make you a better rider either. Dedication is far more important than money spent. I won't ever win any races, because I don't have the time to practice as much as I should. But I still have fun, and that's what counts. If you're not having fun, go play with your Playstation. If you're having fun, it doesn't matter what you ride.

that bike is worth $50 at most
Its not by any meens the most exspensive bike but its worth way more than 50.00 dollers. Its 150.00 U.S.
but like Ex says who cares about the price all that matters is you have fun on it.

na man, i meant the guy who started this thread. he asked for an opinion so i gave him one.

hey man cool bike but it needs sumthin like a set of black sunrigle pedal and a oddy black widow the set up its about $200US

na man, i meant the guy who started this thread. he asked for an opinion so i gave him one.

ok cuz i was bout to say that SXE most definately is not a poser, whatever the definition of that is, and Darin, as he pointed out, isn't a poser either, but i might just agree about the kid who started this thread, but lets let him speak for himself...

hey man cool bike but it needs sumthin like a set of black sunrigle pedal and a oddy black widow the set up its about $200US

Yeah, because Odyssey Black Widow cranks are oh-so-nice, especially with even Odyssey employees recommending not to use them.

this forum is starting to suck againwhen haro rider,flyboy, and those other **** were here, it sucked. we got rid of them, and kinetic, mude and lunchbox came. they are all ******** but they knew the difference between a decent bike and a piece of **** with chrome plating

Chrome is plating, not paint.

the kid that started the thread wasted money on a bike that belongs in the garbage. he's hardcore, he probably busts out insane tricks like peg wheelies or barturns of curbs

Chrome is plating, not paint.

Actually, it's a multi-stage process involving several other metal coatings, nickel and brass if I recall correctly.

Yes, but it's still not paint.

Yes, but it's still not paint.

Yeah, but Queensrider is totally ghetto, so some of his homeboys may have some chrome paint.

There is actually a very convincing chrome paint available now, but i dont know how well it would hold up. I'm trying to get my night train chrome plated. They use nickel and copper.
