Hey, welcome,
Do a favor and don't post IN ALL CAPS. Check the link on the top left of the page "Forum FAQ & rules" for an overview, including the "why?" of the ALL CAPS thing.
I'm going to move your post up to the Vintage BMX forum, as I suspect the crew up there will do a better job of answering your questions.

An implied rule here, newbie, is to take pot-shots at "no-caps" elvis whenever possible. This will accomplish a couple things.
1) you gain more posts to your total!
2) everyone who isn't elvis will like your style.
WIN WIN!

GO TO THE RETRO NEW SCHOOL SECTion....sorry Elvis.....to learn everything about the new Retro PK.
Todd Lyons posts regularly in that area and you'll see many pictures of retrofied PKs.
If you search back through the forum you will also see info as the project was planned and unveiled.
Go to sebikes.com and sign up for Todd's newsletter, he sends out regular updates and the PK is the latest cool project from SE.
not sure if the museums are functional here yet with the switch but bmxmuseum.com has a wonderful selection of oldschool pics to parouse.
welcome aboard and cheers!
