who rides bmx?

[quikveedb2]

i wanna get back into it but i always find something my car needs more than i need a bike

do it. a one time investment of a few hundred buck that equals free entertainment/recreation/exercise for a long time.

Nice!

I tried to get into a few years ago, built a FBM howler, demolition bars, profile cranks, proper complete wheelset, few animal peices. I just couldn't get the hang of it, could barely do a bunnyhop, lol. I wanted to learn so bad but I worried about fucking myself up and not being able to work. I hit a few stairs sets, that's about it.

Sucks because I love BMX, love watching edits, and cruising on my bike when I had it.

Hate to admit it, but I'm in the fixed gear crowd now. I enjoy it, but every once in a while I miss BMX. Not a real big scene out here in Richmond.

This is so true. I've poured tons and tons of money into my cars-- they won't ever stop sucking money. Buy a bike and enjoy yourself. I haven't rode seriously in 2 years now, but I'm putting together a modern bike now so that I can get out and enjoy a cheap hobby again. I work on cars every day and having them as a primary hobby is tiring after a while..

Hahaha yes! Seems like it's been 10 years since I've seen a Quamen.. Awesome. Come to think of it, the single piece cranks seem like a 10 year old touch as well :). Nice bike.

so much respect for flatland, shit's hard.

[Dude]

Pics of my e30 with my bike ontop tommorow! haha.

If only cars were as easy and cheap to maintain as bikes. Modern bmx bikes are made of about 10-15 parts and i can completely disassemble my bike down to every nut and bolt with around 4 tools.

Would you mind listing out some frame geometry specs or information about other parts on the bike? I'm interested. I'm really looking for a frame with brake mounts on the seat-stay, but if the deal is right./

[Jesse30]

yeah i can do that for you, i'll take some measurements of it tomorrow. anywhere in particular you want me to measure??

[619E30]

^^ Most likely top tube length

[rThor432]

That'd be great-- I'd like to know the top-tube length. Also, do you know what sort of bottom bracket it has? Euro, American, Mid, Spanish, Canadian, etc.. Thanks Jesse.

[Jesse30]

no idea as to what kind of bottom bracket it has, i'll give you a list of the parts tomorrow and a measurement also.
