If you are referring to my bike, I also do not like the seat.
I want to either get a FBM rumble seat, or a United seat. We will see. For now I think I am going to recover it with yellow VInYL!

The United seats look nice, but I want a pivotal.

The United seats look like the Primo Balance seats with cooler logos.

I don't know man. Pivotal seats don't seem all THAT fantastic. If you get a nice seatpost and a decent seat they are almost identical weight. Plus with a normal setup you have more adjustabiliy. On the otherhand, I think Pivotal seats look clean. But I will keep the traditional setup until somebody gives me their pivotal.
Macneil set up-
Capitol Seat-11.2oz
Post (normal sized) 6.5 oz
total weight= 17.7 oz.
Normal seat setup-
FBM rumble seat-10.8
Snafu Jpost- 6.3 oz
total- 17.1 oz

Now to reiterate, Bob Scerbo bars kick ass, 'cept they're to narrow.

Great picture, but your lyrics are super small.

No new parts, just a new picture. Testing a little film point and shoot I got for 5 bucks.
I've had it just about a year now, and it's holding up well. I would probably buy another if I wanted another complete in the $400 range. Rhyno Lites are some good rims, I've beat the hell out of them and I'm not smooth at all but they're still in true.

They're aluminum Truvativ's. I'd rather have some 3-piece BMX cranks, but these were stock and they're decent. The seat isn't too bad.

Yeah, I really like that bike as well. The only things I don't like are the seat and that odd sprocket.

The frame is a 80's National Freeform 360. There is no info on the net about it. I like it though. I need new pedals.

That thing looks like utter crap. The frame is bent, the seat is super high, and the bars are Chicago'd. How does it run?
