This was just completed. I do have some yellow comp3 tires coming for it but I put on the red just to ride it. critiques? Yeah , I need to trim my brake cable.

I love the color flow, very sweet!! Its the RM-1. Only thing I would change is bring the bars back little and get either gold or red pedals instead of the silver. Great build man!!

Thanks pk ripped. Im going to bring the bars back. Felt a little squirely riding it. Working on getting some red or gold pedals too. But I just love the ACS stoker pedals and wanted to put them on something.

Serving Suggestion: Take the pedals apart and have them powder-coated.

Very nice!
Now, if it was mine, I'd change the tires, seat and grips to black. The yellow seems to be fighting what could be a very sweet color combo.
Good work nonetheless!

Pro stem and gold pedlals. Man you're makin' me wish I never sold my RM-2. Sweet!!!
Steve Bourke
man i wish i had a RM. it sucks spending all your money on racing and not collecting.
i would put a straight post on it and move the bars back.
very tight.
mushkow
well thanks for all the suggestions. The bars are back now. And looks like I will have to throw down on some gold or red DXs. Couldnt paint the acs pedals that would be like painting over mahoghany. Got to keep the yellow Im diggin it. I ride all my bikes and a layed back seatpost is the only way to go for me. Thanks for the kind words Brian. Means alot coming from a Race Inc. fanatic.

beeeaautiful hubs! Hey, are those my decals?! If so that is so cool--thats the first time I've seen the gold one's on a bike. I was hoping someone would put them on a red frame. I've always wanted to do a Race Inc in his color combo--it's so incredibly 80s. I love this build. Really nice.

very nicely rebuilt looks good and we all know it riiides sweeeet toooo!!!! good job
mushkow
Thanks again. Johnson those are your decals . Very nice job . A perfect match
BRIAN HAYS
Mushkow, those decals are perfect aren't they? Nic Johnson is the man. That all started when I bought my first RM last year which was white with gold decals. I had bought a few sets of Nic's other decals and emailed him to see if he could do the gold. I peeled a fork decal off and mailed it to him. He matched the pantone color and had these perfect gold decals produced. Awesome job. Of coarse, I sold the frame before ever repainting it and decaling it because I ended up with two perfect RM's, but I still want to do something to use the gold decals.

Well I have retooled. I developed a dis taste for the yellow and red. Reminded me of ketchup and mustard. Replaced the suntour neck for Tuf neck. Schwinn cranks for Sugino GT's . Acs pedals for shimano sx's. Tuf neck seatpost for pro neck .Kashi yellow leather for kashi mx. And lastly dried worn comp 2 's for cheng shins ( just for riding) . And I didnt change from colored tires to black because a couple of people think they are ghey. LOL. Different strokes for different folks. The frame and fork is original paint. I have yet to see anyone else with this color. Well happy to share. Thank you and good night.
BRIAN HAYS
Dude, that thing is still SO awesome. I like the black better than the yellow.

I personally love "teh ghey" colored tires.
Nic Johnson99
Awesome. I love the changes. Very tasteful.

Wow Mitch what a difference a year Makes!

Ouch, what happened to the bars?

I like the improvement but I could be happy with either...hard to screw up such a killer frame and fork!

nice.. very nice!
mushkow
Thanks guys . Alex that is how I got the bars. And they were NOS. Im thinking I could strip the factory finish off them and polish them to a mirror finish. Or I could try to find a close matching touch up paint. Brian I love colored tires too. I guess I should learn some show tunes.
BRIAN HAYS
Dude, leave the bars and put a black Cal lite pad on it. Bike is perfect now with all the black stuff.
mushkow
I was only kidding about polishing the bars. But I will try to touch it up. Looking at the pics of my bike it does seem I have the ghetto Chicago forward sweep to my bars. Ill move them back a little.

That is a killer Race Inc. Mitch, both versions!!! Red and gold is a sweet combo! Nics' decals do Rock! I got a couple of the custom color sets he did, awesome quality!

Funny thing though Mitch. With the laid back post, laid back seat tube angle and Chicago bars set-up, I don't recall you having monkey arms? LOL!
mushkow
LOL! I guess I had it coming for awhile Derek.
