My first build!!





Well here's my first build, basically everything is brand new. Im pretty satisfied with it for now. Im still waiting for my pedals to come and i might make some changes but not sure yet.
Let me know what you think.. any suggestions? or questions?

Maybe try setting your bars at the same angle as your steering axis, unless you already know you like rocking that Chicago BMX steez.
