here are the details:
early 90's Centurion road frame
alex rims, suzue hubs
52:18 gear combo
chopped and flipped original drop bars
painted with gloss orange rust-oleum spray cans
NO BRAKES

rides like the wind, fast and out of control

the painting went fine, although I should have used a primer before painting cause it took a lot of paint to cover some of the darker areas where is was sanded down to the steel

I know when I raced bmx it was illegal to race without brakes.....made me mad....I hated brakes back then...but I put them on my race bike and moved on....

no clue about the rules of the road on that one though....boy was my post useless....

depends on the local laws, and whether the cops have nothing better to do...

You must live in the south or the west. KC area is super hilly. I like the orange.
