Bikes: Mongoose Raid, 2 mole yoro's, and a Diamondback Grind

my Mirra

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.

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.

Don't call me names just because you can't dip your 3s.

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

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.
