Nice Steve. I hadn't found it yet. I subscribed and will read through it over the next few days. I looked at the first page of pix and read what you posted. Doesn't look like the same ride.

Ok so I couldn't wait. I read through it all last night. I saved every pic. I tried to save them off of your profile a bit ago, but its encoded so I couldn't.

I loved the "beat up" look, the flat black was sick, and you are stupid talented with a sharpie.

Okay so I said I was gonna leave it alone.

I said there isn't anything I would change.

But I changed my mind. I'm still very happy, but there are minor details I want to touch up. I'm gonna use this thread to post what I change as I change it.

I'm currently committed to winding down the wife's Chevelle by spring. But I can sneak in a few weekend projects.

I blame streetfighter.

dont be afraid to chop that thing up or change it however you like. if you're worried about streetfighter's feelings something tells me he don't give a **** so mod away. that's what this is all about, putting personal touches on your bike even if you got a mean little hot rod right off the bat. it's human nature. hope you're enjoying it!

Mike... Bmxatv is right. He's on here a lot. He's cool. There used to be more vets on here but idk what happened to them. You could paint the bike pink and I wouldn't care. Do what you want.... It's yours. You're only inexperience is using a camera. We need full shots of the bike without wheels cut out and you need a signature picture. Just keep us updated.

Sf I know you don't care, and I know my sig iz horrid. I am hoping to get a few better shots this weekend. I snapped those the day after I picked it up from you.

And BMX and us seems to share the same taste in bikes. Less is more, and there is no mistaking my bike for someone else's.
