Finally getting around to posting pics... This is my first build, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The majority of the parts came from Planet BMX, with JR, Danscomp, and Power Bike Shop also pitching in. smile.gif Oh, and thanks to Capt. Nemo for sending me his Tektro brake and lever. smile.gif Obviously not all aspects of the build are old-school in appearance, but I did my best. smile.gif

The parts list:

2009 PK ripper looptail frame, Landing Gear fork
S&M Slam bars
Roughneck stem
Profile headset lock (threw the star nuts in the trash)
AME grips
Profile crank arms and bottom bracket
Profile 44T chainwheel
Profile spider
ACS claw freewheel
Skyway white TUFF wheels
Cheapo ebay pedals (to be replaced)
Kashimax aero seat

I like to be able to pedal comfortably while sitting. And actually the seat height is a couple inches lower than I'd prefer, but the post is at max extension.
