Ok this is the f/f i got from ken pliska, and i haven't painted it yet... so it's scratched up pretty good.
build list: 99 p24, haro nyquist bars, GT team stem, fsa head set, FmF pmoto rims, poverty hubs, irc siren tires, tektro vbrakes, GT/profile 180mm cranks . profile 39t sprocket, generic chrome chain, GT post.GT seat, mosh pedals...ehhh its a daily rider but its too small! i'm only 5'11" and 290.. would like bigger pedals and wider bars, tougher stem! think i'm gonna powder coat it flo/kawi green .

I dont think that an '02 counts as "midschool" BUT I just cant resist the topic. My Powerlite cruiser is from the same mold as oldracer88's. Almost all stock, except the Tuff's. I still have the original set of wheels for it. I did upgrade the cranks too. It originally had chromo, forged 3 piece cranks. I got my hands on a set of the Powerlite aluminum cranks that were made by FSA.
This is an excellent riding cruiser. I still take it on an occasional down town ride. I raced it for almost two years. I decided to retire it while it was still in good shape. '02 was the last year of production.
