Oh, hell yeah:

Old 24" looptail Mongoose that I got for free.




Here's the bike I was making fun of with the stickers:






Next time I visit my parents' house I'm going to resurrect my father's Hoffman. It was nice back in the late '90s when he was riding, hopefully I do it justice.

That's your only diss on the bike?! They are just foreshortened because of the angle. Perception's funny that way.

I put some Oury grips on the bars yesterday. What do you guys think of Ourys? I'm not liking them on the bmx. The flanges don't even face inward toward the levers, which seems kinda dumb to me.

Ourys lick so much ass, I hate them with a passion. Kill them with fire.

My bike, nothing special but it does its job. I have a new frame/back wheel/sprocket coming from a mate in about a week.






Specs:
Frame: '06 mongoose brawler (soon to be 07 Norco Rev w/fsa internal headset, spanish bb, creme colour)
Fork: std mongoose w/ extra long steerer
Bars: std mongoose (soon to be big bars-maybe metal sasquatches)
Stem: std mongoose (ewwww, soon to be ody elementary)
Grips/bar ends: odi ruffians
Brake: tektro/ody slick cable/kool stop pads
Wheels:
(R) Felt, 13t, 48h (soon to be 10t cassette laced to hazard lite/7ka/midway)
(F) Std mongoose 36h
Sprocket: std mongoose 36t, the sprocket is soo crap, bends like chese. (soon to be 28t...)
Chain: std kmc thing (soon to be shadow interlock)
Cranks: std mongoose (soon to be stock norco rev ones...)
Seat/post/clamp: shadow slim/generic stump/mongoose (possibly getting a macneil sl pivotal set up from a mate...)
Extras: pegs?
Mods: cut flanges off grips, feels nice. I would do other stuff but i dont have immediate access to drills etc...

thas bout it....

(p.s. i need to repaint the front wheel, i used to think front brakes were cool haha)
