Maybe once i get my new job, ill pick up some Hazard lites laced to 7ka rims.

first off, bummer that your bike got ran over. second, imo i would recommend you save your money and don't get a thomson for the bmx. ESPECIALLY if you plan to cut it. if you're a weight weenie get a macneil (or other "pivotal system") seat and seatpost combo. otherwise just go with a traditional seatpost. next, i think you mean "hazard" hubs. i've never heard of a "hazard light" hub.

Saw the vintage ones--very nice! At first I thought the bike in your photo here was a mixte (hey, it was at the back of a dark garage, 'kay?) and just didn't think that quite fit in--unless it was a significant other bike . After all, I've got uh, four of the things myself....But now I see it is a BMX bike...cool...
