I know exactly what you mean. Hopping on my 20 is almost painful now, but the 22 feels great. I can't believe I put this off for so long. It's reignited that flame for BMX I had that was lost after my knee injury.  Next step is to get some csnti mounts welded on the front.

awesome. keep spreadin the word on 22"s, y'all !

Could have been Jerry Galley, Scott Malyon, Stuart King or one of those boys, everyone seemed to have them for a while.

Might be thinking of Marv too, those lot I listed above are maybe late 90's.

Yep.

Some thoughts on 4 piece bars.

http://imeugene.com/post/139801136412/v-a-l-u-e-its-a-weird-thing-what-is-a

I find it very strange that even flatlanders don't ride sub 8 bars anymore and they like it wide! So bizarre.

Interesting points.   What do you think is the difference (if any) between "intrinsic value" and "subjective value"? 

I think Sean Burns can also be credited with bringing 4 piece bars back.

They look like Primo Moe's bars.... but at the same time, they could be a Mongoose (or other) copy.

Could not make out the text (if it even is text) on the decal.....

Mannn if the Taj can't have a rack there definitely goes my dream commute bike right now.

p-clamps is the answer. I have installed many racks using p-clamps on bike that don't have braze-ons for a rack or just had them in an awkward position.

a seatpost-mounted rack could work too.

yep. just saw this.

Powerlites are the best bar ever made.

I recall there being some British park shredder who was riding them in the early 00's. Anyone remember who that was?  He was in Props videos, contests, etc.
