And I really couldn't care less, it's comfy for me, if you haven't noticed I'm not trying to have a trendy bike, just a bike that works for me.
Slams-bought to help out sore wrists.
Stem-Up, because thats how I like it.
Brakes-Because I like them.
Seat-Not slammed, set up just right.
Sprocket-28t with 10t driver, because I like my bearings.
Am I missing anything?

Okay, whatever works for you. I just didn't know if you noticed your stem. Your seat isn't that high.

Callum, your bike is amazing, although it looks very unused. Also, since you do not have brakes, maybe you would wish to cut the flanges of your grips off because those can just be annoying and cutting them off makes the bike look cleaner.

fit my bike only looks unused cause i never ever ride dirt and cause i maintain it regularly. and i like my flanges, mot sure why. but i might cut them off because im trying to learn barspins at the moment. and if they arent there there is more room for catching.

I'm pretty sure he cuts his down just by the looks.
i learned bar spins with uncut slams...
I did a few into the foam pit when i was at Woodward, got one or two, but the rest were terrible.
I was too much of a sissy to take them to the resi. Although now i really want to learn them.

^^^agreed.
I don't have any pics of my bike.
So just imagine a 100% stock Hoffman Disrupter EL2 (all black), with four pegs, and pretty beat up. :D
If I get a new bike for flatland I might post some pics...

I find that kind of stupid. But that's just me. The other one had lot's of bike checks for people to look over and stuff. Gunz is just power hungry and wanted his own sticky. Lame.

Fit doesn't have a bike. Nor does he ride. All he does is post on here and delete perfectly good threads.

Deal with it. A new bike check thread was made because the other thread was overloaded, just like the the thread that was replaced before it. When this bike check thread is filled up, you (Kinetik) can post a new thread. Also, I can not post pictures of my bike because I am currently on vacation in Florida.

I will post up a bike check when I come home and pickup my bike from the shop, and then put all my new parts on it. I will be home Monday night, so I will most likely pickup my bike on Tuesday.
