here we go...
i just dusted off my old bike and decieded to get back into riding trails and street after about a 6-7 year break from bmx. i put the bike together back in 99 or 2000 so a lot of the parts are i guess now considered "old school". i'll change things as i start to break them. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...DSC07705-1.jpg DK General Lee (last year it was made in the USA) Standard STA fork Peregrine Phat Jack wheels Profile SS cranks Profile SS chainwheel 45t Shimano 16t freewheel DK stem (jump?)

Oh ****, that bike is sweet. All the trend-ho's on bikeguide would hate it, but don't let people like that get in the way of having fun on it.
I want some chrome parts now. |
thanks
ehh, i could care less about thoes kids. this kid that used to work at the shop i work at would change out his parts every time i blinked. it gets annoying. i do plan on lacing up a new set of wheels but im still reading up on cassette hubs. i cant wait to get rid of the phat jacks. they've held up this whole time but its time to move on. |
Only things I would change is smaller gearing and a smaller seat.
Nice bike though. |
I love it, the 'old-school' look is great
|
I rode a few Demo 9's this summer when I was racing and they had those pedals, pretty damned nice to.

One of my friends borrowed a Demo 8 for a weekend last year. Mad fun to ride but the turning circles are awful :P
|
Getting on is half the fun, you can jump on the damn things and land without your feet on the pedals from like, 5 feet up.
Kinda like my bike, except newer, and they handle better... |
Haha, it makes no footers really easy, no need to land back on the pedals
|
Depends on the jump.
I've been thinking about getting rid of my big rig and picking up a bigger rig. Mine: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...101/zuluDH.jpg What might be mine: http://i5.pinkbike.com/photo/328/pbpic328369.jpg |
Only mini ones. Im sure 50 ft doubles would be difficult
|
Cant be a berm behind the jump, you'll go over it.
It sucks. |
That has happened.
Love the brooklyn, i think their hardtails are really nice aswell. What are the advantages of the multiple sprockets? |
Dang, bimmer. I've always wanted to try one of their park bikes. Or any of their bikes, really.

Odyssey 7ka or Primo 7 Series Balance rims. Profile cranks are still in style! Don't lose hope! |

thanks for the comments.
i'm planning on another set of SS cranks or just some race cranks. im getting this creak that i dont like so its time to let them go. last time i heard something like that i snapped my old profile race cranks a week later. the chainwheel does look huge by todays standards so thats going too. as for the hubs i'll probabbly go for the profiles since theres so many types out there. i'll just stick with something i know unless i find out they completley suck. EDIT: holy ****! i just looked at thoes odyssey rims... $89 !!! since when did rims cost that much?!?! damn im out of the loop. i'm just going off what dans has them priced at. damn am i glad i work at a shop. |
the SS cranks are a little over kill.
i think regular race ones will be ok. |

The purpose of the jackshaft and extra sprocket is to do with the gearing and the amount of travel it has. |
Profile race = Really good, no need for SS.
Sun big city rims are amazing in my opinion, cheap, really really strong and not amazingly heavy. My suggestion is to go for them if you want some for cheaper |
Ody Haz Lights. End of story.
