Almost done. Looking for some black cranks. Still haven`t decided on red brakes or a gold sprocket. I have a burnt orange sprocket that goes well.

And all of my bikes have one piece that just rocks, and on this one it`s the front wheel. KHE Astral wheel. The hub is designed so the spokes never make contact with any grinding surface, so no real need for a guard.

The decision was made for me when I switched to the Primo cranks. The red sprocket has a 19mm spindle hole and the Primos have a 22, which the orange is cut for. Can`t say I`m disappointed:

Almost 100% done. I said I wouldn`t get a gyro until I earned it, and I`ve just about got bunnyhop barspins wired so it`s on it`s way (I`ll be damned if I`m gonna run brakeless.)

It`s a Shadow Conspiracy, and I love it. I ran one for over a year on my race bike without fail. The micro gearing puts more stress on it so I`m getting about 6 months out of them before they stretch to the point of replacement (had one on my eastern as well).

60% of the bikes at the park saturday were blacked out so I will probably change a thing or two, just for a dash of color. Probably some purple.

You don't really need a gyro to do a single barspin or tailwhip.

and...

...if you put a gyro on that thing I'll drive all the way to Texas to punch you in the face!!! (not really) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The bike is looking good, Jeff.

I know. But having to bust out a downside whip just to unwind my cable sucks (umm...yeah.)

Bring it on. I`ll hand you a shovel when you get here.

The bike is looking good, Jeff.

Thanks man, the Zen I remember from 20 years ago is returning. This bike is bringing me to a point in my riding that I should have been in 4 years ago.

I am, as you may have been able to guess, a fan of race-inspired bikes with clean smooth lines (and straight brake cables). Like Stricker's bike when it still had chainstay brake mounts. I always thought it would be rad to ride a bike like that but still do all the circus tricks but instead of doing double barspins do a single one way, catch and then do it back to unwind the cable. Tailwhip to barspin out, flair-whip to barspin out, you get the idea.

Of course the only tricks I really think need to be done are as follows:

table top
turndown
cross-up
toboggan
360

I'm kind of a grumpy old man and averse to change so feel free to ignore me.

but yeah, punch you in the face!
