Am I the current "oldest fuck" here?

Weird. I'm just as stoked on BMX as ever but I only ride/dig trails these days.

Did you paint the subrosa?

The Orphan as well as the Silva 2, is on my short list of "what frame will I buy next" list.

I used to think one needed both arms to be able to have spring adjustability too.

Since running Springfields, I've come to realize its not important.

I think this is A cool idea.

As noted, the spring is the cable hanger.

I'm curious how much tension is on the spring and how much you can bend it back and forth before it breaks.

I tripped over it looking for some tools...

as for the long grip/short grip thing, I have the same issue...

My hands naturally end up smashed against the flanges. I'll start a run with my hands on the very end of the bars and my hands end up at the other end of the grip by the time I'm done riding.

Left it at home and went to the woods to dig in the pissing rain for four hours.

« on: October 08, 2014, 10:16:23 PM »

I don't collect shit. Maybe if I had more money and more space to store shit I might.

Honestly, I just need bikes that I can ride. Looking at old stuff doesn't do anything for me.

With that said, I do have some old parts that I probably will never get rid of. Not many though.

Taj said in an interview I read, something about old bikes sucked, why would he want to collect them.. I can get my old bikes fix  on the museum.

80's bmx = flexy, breakable bikes
90's bmx = heavy as fuck
modern bmx = fuck yes!*


* I've been saying "fuck yes" to bikes since '77

^ I'd rather see your trails than your bike.

There aren't snobs in my woods.
