I knew when I cleaned out the storage units I would find stuff I had forgotten I had owned, but I have no clue what this is or where I got it! Reilly? What the heck is this? It's long as heck. Makes me wonder if it was originally a 24" of some kind? The rear drop outs are cool.

what is that thing with the plugs on the wall? do all those wires meet code?

Looks like the code enforcement/building inspector needs to look at you electrical work.

we blew out a surge protector already out there this past winter... we had a dog out there and we had a heater plugged in... the heater takes up some power... now I'm more worried about fires than old bmx bikes.

note the "str-1" type bottom bracket? any comments on that, stu?

Wow ,, thats pretty cool looking !!!! The forks look like they weigh about 15 pounds alone !!!!
I wonder if this will be as close as we get to seeing an actual str-1 !!!

does it have twin down tubes?
pquinnbmx
yeah, trust me, I am flattered as heck to get my electrical chops busted by Stu, that is awesome!

2112 the frame does indeed have twin down tubes. I will get some photos. The rear drop outs are RIVETED.
pquinnbmx
that's right, who needs welds, just rivet that darn rear dropout.
