Almost there - needs some tweaking though:







Kappa M20 frame and Kappa K20 forks - chrome is terrible on the frame
Profile Retro - mod to look like H*tch 1st gen
JP Rounds
S&M Race Bars
Kappa Padset
Profile spider and stem
We the People seat clamp
Tioga Powerblocks - Awesome tires

Reminds me of a 80's GT - well to me anyways.

Looks great. Was thinking GT too with the pierced tube.

John, what is happening man? You know what I want for this - the DK Retro Stem. Call over to Springboro and it is true - they are coming out soon. The guy mention some dirt contest there at their faciltiy on Saturday. He said that they might have them on displace/sale?

That's a sweet ride right there! It's more JMC-ish when you couple the pierced top tube with the style of the rear dropouts. However JMC's did have a looptail whereas GT's did not. Guess it depends on how one looks at it. None the less, a great Kappa build! biggrin.gif

I cannot take credit for the cranks - some dude from bmxmuseum was selling them. Thanks everybody. I am still tweaking the ride. Woody thinks it looks more like a National w/out the bar, i think early/mid GT and I can see the JMC. With the National - the back drop behind the seat tube are straight - these are curved

Next project.......
