Metal Burma
Anyone have an opinion or information on this frame?
I am about to pick one up on the cheap either way but know nothing of the frame aside from knowing the company is good.

It's a solid bike, and good price. It may be a bit too heavy for todays up and coming riders that worry about every ounce and can't even bunnyhop, but at least you wont have to worry about breaking anything. My freind who just got back into riding has Metal Kizz which i beleive is the Burma's Jenny Craig sister.

Word... The bolt that runs through the chainring and into the crank is gone and the BB doesn't look pressed in all the way.. So yeah, maintained by a careless kid it would appear. That is a threadless BB shell right???

Yah, looks am but as I have never had a bike that accepts an american BB in viewing pics... I am not sure on the install... lame I know.
Not sure on those cranks man, they look like cheap **** to me. I will post pics and pop em off when I can, I am on my GF's mac out of town so don't have the ability at the moment.

k, the black cranks in the pics look to be (now) just general "Profile" cranks but... there are some that are raw metal in finish that (came in a shoe box w/ the bike) have really large splines and look really beefy... any thoughts?
Yes I know... I will shoot some pics later.

Since we are talking about stickers, I want to take all mine off... and possibly take my brakes off too even though the day I broke my leg I got a dirty harry lever and new brake cable so I could ditch the gyro. On an even sadder note, I never got to use either of the two. I want to shed some weight on my bike and I never use brakes anyway. No fufs for me.
