Argh ! I forgot all about this post until today. That really sucks for me. Thanks for noticing just the same. Damn.

The bikes you guys ride are way different from what i'm use to. This what i currently have. Bought this back in 1996,mongoose expert with 21in frame. I haven't ridin a bike for about 10 years prior to 1996.

Thanks, but the only one there is a 21" tt, not 20.6". Trust me, I checked.

I was thinking of trying the Fit FAF-K for my next set. Thoughts?

It is such a tiny difference between the 20.6 and 21, just buy 21.

I cannot find pictures of mine on Flikr, but I ride a S&M dirt bike with tons of S&M parts.

theres def a difference for us regular sized people! but goddamn your bike is a fucking tank

Looks good! Thats oddly the exact same finish my current Verde is. Looks really cool. But I'm far more excited about this that just showed up.

Brand new T1 Hickerson.

My 5th T1 and the first new frame I've bought myself in 6 years. Can't wait to build this up.

that thing is BEAUTIFUL

Didn't Eastern go out of business?

I miss my BMX days and having shit tons of money to spend on bikes. Of course, that all changed when I got my license.

I rode exclusively Fit bikes for years. Loved them. Still have my last bike that i tool around on every once in a while. Too much sentimental attachment to let go. Fit S3 frame that was one of Mike Aitken's personal frames, Fit sky high bars and shiv forks, Primo stem, Profile cranks with titanium hardware, custom built Odyssey wheelset, etc. Bought almost all that stuff brand new...got a lot of money in that bike. Made a lot of money flipping and parting out BMX bikes over the years. Those were the good days.

I can't wait to get back on my bike. I just got a 1980 Garelli Rally Sport which is too much fun.

man i used to ride bmx, had a pretty gnarly dirt jump set up in my woods...actually visited some dope dirt jump spot in pennsylvania back in the day, was in ridebmx and some other magazine, it was so epic (can't remember the name of the place but it was pretty famous)

...then some fucker stole it in college

I have an eastern and a DK now just for cruising, but they are all pretty much stock (dont even remember where I got them), miss that shit

I disagree. Also from someone who is 5' 7", and who likes a more responsive feeling bike, a 21 feels dramatically different to me. I actually just ordered a new frame since I tried a 21" again and don't like the way it feels.

Didn't know you rode Brandon. Can't go wrong with an all S&M rig.

I'm nearly 6.6" tall...I have broken a Specialized and a DK, this S&M is a beast.

S&M Dirt bike frame that was stripped then coated in crinkle powder coating. Power bite 3pc/Oddy PC pedals, Custom rear wheel: Alienation Black Sheep Rim with AN Rush V2 freecoaster, Oddy dirt forks blah blah blah



Not sure how rare these are anymore...but Subrosa ZOMBIE!!!! I had such a hard time tracking one down.

I love KHE's. The park tires are insanely fragile but they're so light. I run the street Mac2's or the Dirts if I can find them. Albe's usually has a few laying. Light wheels and tires make any bike feel 10x more managable to me.

Agreed. I run the Mac 1.5s (which are supposed to measure 1.95, but I think it's a bit shy of that). For skate plazas and smaller parks, the narrow tires are so much nicer to ride. They're more nimble and lighter for hop-3s and other low-speed tricks.

That said, I'm looking to build up a Trueno because it has the standard style seatpost;the Tierra is mounted 0.5" back from normal so you don't bump the inside of your knees, which is amazing for street but not for large jumps where you want somethin to pinch. The trueno also has a longer back end, so it'll be more stable for larger jumps. I've wanted a second, more trail/jump oriented bike for a while.
