2008 Mirraco Blend 1. got it off Craigslist for 300 and change. stock except for

SNAFU grips
Odyssey 12t cassette (RHD)
Odyssey Mike Aitken wolf seat (not in pics)
Primo Tofu pegs
Sun Rhyno-lite rims (yes, they're the same as the originals, but when the first ones broke, I pulled these off dans)
Colony stem
Animal Steven Hamilton pedals

it's a fun ride, but it's full chromo. I'm used to cheap ass 30+ lb bikes, and now I've got this one down to a little over 26. it feels so light that I'm afraid the frame's gonna crack under my weight (even though it's wayyy stronger than my others) I'm thinking I need some new bars, though. these ones are really weird, and gettin old. by the way, son't bother commenting on the reflector. I know it's lame. I took it off a few days ago.

Clean it up and it would look tons better. It would look better with some color too. But besides that, nice ride.

yeah, I totally gotta clean it. it it needs colour? so what are you thinking? red and black motif?

Sure, whatever floats your boat. It's just grey blah.

go bright. something that stands out. yellow?

hmm, tru. the seat it a black and yellow theme, so that would come easily. actually, the frame is kind of a blue grey, not just grey. I migh jsut add yellow trim instead of painting it.

Are those tyres the M-Treads? You can save a fair bit of rotating mass if you replace them, those things are really heavy.

right now i got a completly stock subrosa salvadoor that has cracked everything bars forks just about the only thing good on it is the frame and seat due to the fossil park thugs thay beat the hell out of it
in a fiew weeks
treehot bars
sputnic forks
demolition weels
Odyssey twisted pc pedels
demolition 28t sprocket

Looking nice, but is it me, or do those handlebars look reaally wide?

the handle bars are big haha.
eastern's biggest i think.

You better be above 6'2'' to run those bars. That is just ridiculous.

Slam XLT's FTW.

Anything bigger is getting dumb.

Yeah, the bars def. look like overkill. Nice bike otherwise. I actually need to change my spacers around so my bars are a little higher.

9" bars? seriously? biggest im goin is 8.25. nothing bigger than that.

However purple, blue, red, and lime green do not. Red and green are contrast colors so it doesn't please the eyes.

beautiful bike, Fuzzbox. very easy on the eyes and flows nicely.
