Ultimate oilslick 2.0
torontoflatlander:
I physically cringed looking at that. The tires look like old fashioned donuts. The worst kind of donut.
KillSeth:
Chiming in to say that old fashioned donuts can be marvelous if made well.
Carry on with this Harry Main bullshit.

The idea of this bike came around in February last year. We had done bikes for the previous years Dropouts BMXhibition and thought it would be a bit of fun. At that time there wasn't any company doing a full oilslick bike.
Clint from Colony was about to drop the 20th anniversary Prody frames and we hit him up to see if we could do one in rainbow. We also had to have the forks, bars and cranks done as well. At the time no company had released any of that stuff. Clint also had the rims on the way so it seemed to make sense in making up a one off complete. We sent the bars (which were the first samples of Colony's 4pc Hardy bars), forks and cranks back to Taiwan with the frame to have the process done.
Anyway, love it or loathe it, the response from the show was overwhelmingly positive (granted a lot of old/mid school riders).
I personally have never been a fan of oilslick/rainbow/jetfuel finishes and would never run it but there is something about this bike.
It's tacky, over the top, and completely impractical to ride but yet everyone who sees it in the shop is drawn to it.
Certainly oilslick has done it's dash with core of BMX, the mainstream side of BMX are still mid trend.
