Here's the bike I was making fun of with the stickers:

Next time I visit my parents' house I'm going to resurrect my father's Hoffman. It was nice back in the late '90s when he was riding, hopefully I do it justice.

Those are some really short bars.

That's your only diss on the bike?! They are just foreshortened because of the angle. Perception's funny that way.

I put some Oury grips on the bars yesterday. What do you guys think of Ourys? I'm not liking them on the bmx. The flanges don't even face inward toward the levers, which seems kinda dumb to me.

Ourys lick so much ass, I hate them with a passion. Kill them with fire.

It wasn't really a diss more of a comment...

My bike, nothing special but it does its job. I have a new frame/back wheel/sprocket coming from a mate in about a week.

meh, im keeping it as my dj bike, and im building up another bike for street/park

so far ive ordered an elementary stem, vandero front wheel (7ka rim, primo spokes) and a pair of slam xlt's

should have the money for frame and stuff from my mate in about a week

pics soon...

What frame and other stuff are you getting?

The elementary looks so nice.

this frame:
http://xs220.xs.to/xs220/07425/IMGP1368.JPG

will be getting the frame, cranks, fsa internal headset and the kmc chain

he's also gonna chuck in free grips (a few pairs), those bars (will chuck on my other bike) and shadow interlock chain


either that, or i know someone else selling an eastern dragon frame


what do you guys reckon?

If that's a Norco stick with that.

I was thinking the exact opposite

Well I pretty much hate anything Eastern so whatever.

why do you hate eastern? sure, they like to drill the s*** out of some of there parts, but most of there parts are really decent.

bending.

Everything is stock except for

Time Z clipless pedals
MCS Aluminum bars
Odi Longneck Lock-on grips
Tioga Comp III front tire
And I moved my bars back from where they are in the pic.

Woohoo. I get to go first.

That's a NICE bike!I wish i could have one of those.

You forgot the sarcasm tags, ZING!

I really haven't done a bikecheck in a while. I haven't really done much with my bike. Basically, I got new J-Pegs... that's about it. I might be building up a front wheel in the near future with a Demo hub and I have a couple 7kas kicking around. I have a nagging sensation to paint it and make it look good, as I already have to paint the hub (I don't want bright green). Do you think I should paint both the hub and rim purple, or the hub black and the rim purple?

My bike has new stuff on it, cant be arsed with taking a picture though...

Thanks popitus. I also got new forks on it and will very soon be getting Profile's.
