Yeah, it does look pretty cool. Any specs on them though?
i know they come in 20.5 and 20.75 TT. A 74.5 headtube angle. 14 or 14.25 rear end(a little bit longer than my frame now) and they weigh only 4.8lbs. Thats about all i know.

Sounds pretty cool except for the rear end... tell us how it is when you get it.

I got my singlespeed MTB frame with a fork from 'wompwomp', but I need to get more stuff to build it up. Technically I could use the parts from my Hardrock, but then it'll be heavy as hell and won't ride as well as if I get XC parts and real singlespeed stuff.

700c eventually when I get proper track hubs this summer, but for now I'm keeping these and just running a suicide hub.

And if you're going to say suicide hubs aren't safe I don't wanna hear it .

Yeah it's a custom Take frame. Brakes on the chainstays and another straight cable guide up on the left side by the headtube. Custom color too. That's the color i'm trying to get my frame painted, i love it.

Cool, cool. Can't wait to see it.

And I def. ran a suicide hub when I first started riding. It is unsafe, but its also fun .

Also... was someone looking for the RAD bmx movie? Here it is:

How and why do people run slicks front and back?!

Even if you don't ride trails slicks are still...too slick!
