New object of lust
I strolled into Bicycle Butler in Spokane the other day and was knocked between the eyes by this frame hanging up ('cept it was a red one):
I know, I know . . . it's not a mountain bike. But it's one of the other objects of my desires: a 24" BMX cruiser. And an FMF (Flying Machine Factory) to boot! I had no idea they made bike stuff (silly me
). What a way to tap back into my MX roots.
When Tim told me $150, the wheels started whirring in my head. I think my wife thought I'd lost my mind, getting so stoked about another hunk of metal to pour money into. Dang, I want one . . .

Throw on a set of Profile Chromoly cranks, Chris King hubs and it'd be a sweet bike.
Or do what I did and buy a complete Haro and then swap the frame out and parts as you go. Complete Haro was only $285 (on sale) and I had a GT frame!

Could I make it go faster by putting an FMF pipe on it?
