x2 for 186mm with a 3 cross lacing pattern. 

188 will be too long, even with the shorter 3/8" nipples.

The Bike Shop / Re: Sunday

I was for sure a big fan of the "Jim C" Sunday era.  But I don't think there has been a single team in BMX history that has been "on top of the game" or at it's peak for more than a decade.  The younger kids seem to be stoked on the Sunday team now and the way the team/brand is marketed.  So I guess that is really more important in the long run.

Sell and Swap / WTB Macneil Ruben frame

« on: August 03, 2017, 02:20:44 PM »

Blue brothers. 

I need a Macneil Ruben frame.  Looking for anything, but the cleaner the frame the better.  Original paint and stickers would be an added bonus that I would pay extra for.

Hit me up via email because I don't lurk the deep blue as much as I used to.  bobbyridesbikes at gmail

Tree metal pedals are good. Decently wide with good grip.

Just dropping by to say the Tree pedals are actually literal piles of garbage. 

But the Grandstands and the BSD Reed Stark ones are pretty deece.

Sell and Swap / Re: Haro circuit skateboard deck

Hello!  Popping in to add that Shad at Goods BMX in Portland would most likely have some sort of "street value" for that sucker.  Either way, that is a cool piece of BMX yester-year.  If you look up posts on Eben Krakau's instagram he has some pretty cool stories about this deck....err, board.  Or whatever.  And there has got to be some info about it somewhere on BMXMuseum.  Just a lot of shit on there to search through.  Also, they change it everytime a person says "fuck" to "frank" and I gotta tell ya, that shit just pisses me the fuck off. 

Peace to my blue brethren.

The Bike Shop / Re: Roof Racks?

Currently have a roof rack.  Wish I would have just went with a hitch rack.  Less expensive and better on gas milage.  You can get some decent hitch racks where your wheels sit in trays as opposed to hanging your bike on some bars. 

Just my 2 cents.

Sell and Swap / Re: Proto Tree Frame Lil Buddy frame.

That is sweet ! Why not keep it, you'll never find another one like it.

Meh, I built it up and rode it a bit last summer.  Getting rid of all of my extra junk at the moment.  Trying to pay off a hefty doctor bill.  It's a cool frame, but I'll never build it up/ride it ever again. 

Thanks, Steve.   Also, for the record, I'd give Steve like 23453 green boxes.  He might be new to the blue, but he is a stand up gentleman.

Anybody going to Warrens, WI for the Baco Jam this weekend?  A bunch of front brake dudes are going to be there for the front brake brethren jam, really looking forward to that.  But I'm mostly looking forward to the party.

The Bike Shop / Re: carving bowls with low psi in the tire?

« on: September 30, 2015, 07:57:59 AM »

Every time I read the subject of this thread I just think to myself "No!  Don't do that!"  haha.  If I show up to a cement bowl and I have low PSI it fucking ruins my day.  I try to always have a pump in my car to make sure this doesn't happen. 

Another indicator if you are running too low of PSI is if your valve stem starts to go crooked from your rim (assuming it was straight up and down to begin with). 

Ramp on, my blue brothers.

« on: September 30, 2015, 07:55:47 AM »

This bitch needs gone!!!  I bought this direct from Tree when they were trying a bunch of different frame designs before the final Lil Buddy went into production.  I've listed it for sale before but now it is priced to GTFO ASAP you MFs.  Please feel free to ask any/all questions you want (hopefully they relate to the sale of the frame). 

Notes on the frame:
This one has a Spanish BB

13.75" rear end (center of drop)
Integrated chain tensioners
Dual cable routing system designed for riding a gyro.

$150 plus $15 shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 USA!!  Frame will come with the brake cables installed in the frame, ready to hook up.  FRAME WILL NOT COME WITH REAR BRAKE OR BOTTOM BRACKET.  Please make paypal payments to: bobbyridesbikes@gmail.com.  For faster responses to questions feel free to use the same email.  Also, for whatever reason I ALWAYS seem to miss PMs on this site.  I'm going to do my best to check, but better to either post a comment or send me an email with a question.
