I've been thinking about this one for a long, long time. I've owned a few JMC in my day and one of my favorites was always the JMC Darrell Young model. As some of you know, I've had a Prodyne 26"er for quite a few years now and most everyone knows their connection with JMC and the heritage that goes with the two. It was done up as a rat version for years and it was in need of a face lift. Soooooooooo, I got to thinking about doing a DY tribute bike. What if I could do a sweet DY in a 26" version?? Well, after much planning, preperation, and a little help from my friends this is what I have come up with. It's finished for the most part. I have a nice set of red and white A'me unitrons coming my way to help finish her off. But this is it in it's DY tribute bike form. Let me know what you guys think.

wow, that is incredible. you have a vision of what I want. on another site they asked a question of, if you could name a bike what would it be? I said "BMF" going off the build being a "26er like an A.P. but that will do also. keep up the good work.
