good god Dan...I wanna get a 24" cruiser at some point...perhaps a General Lee just because I'll scream Dixie when I ride it.
"Now you may ask if I regret it, if I would do it differently if I could, if I would take it back. NOT A CHANCE!!!!! I went for it. I put it all on the line. I always will. I knew what the consequences would be if I failed, and I was willing to accept them. So any of you reading who might be feeling a twinge of sympathy, don't. I made my decisions, and I accept the consequences. I'm no victim. And to those who are thinking about preaching at me, don't bother. I won't hear you. I haven't accomplished anything in this life worth remembering by playing it safe. That's boring to me anyway." – Evan Tanner, 2007

Hahaha, yep, I was showing Ray the DK General Lee cruiser last night. My buddy I bought my new mountain bike from just bought an older cruiser (he's the one that first got me into bmx) and we went looking at bike shops the other day and found a nice one and an ok one. I didn't know Mirra split off from Haro in the last few years and made his own company. I saw one of his cruisers and it even was setup with a gyro. I've been out too long, lol.In the pic above, black half-bike is part of my '99 Schwinn Predator, which was my second bike, then came the blue '00 GT Mach One, then the green Haro Backtrail X1 right after it came out, destroyed the backtrail and predator and decided to build something a guy my size couldn't break, so I built the Standard STA 500 from the ground up piece by piece. Last orange STA frame that ever came out of the factory too! heh, I have a **** ton of money into that bike and only rode it for a few weeks after I finished it... stupid cars... Here's one of the most badass bikes i've ever seen that we saw the other day... Canondale suspension cruiser with disc brake... [still looking for it online] -Dan

For 35 bucks I assume it's just the frame? If it's a complete bike, then you really can't lose for 35 bucks even if half of it is broken. I don't know the frame geometry on those, the bikes are on the cheaper end, but again at 35 bucks, sounds like a good deal. If it's just the frame, there's loads of better stuff out there.-Dan

Very nice, ooooo I wanna help you pick a tire! I recommend 3 things changed on most lower-mid end complete bikes:aftermarket pedals, grips and tires. Haro Landing strip is still my favorite seat. -Dan

Meh, I used Primo Pro grips for years, still have em on 3 different handlebars. Right now i'm using Odyssey Hazard grips and those rock, grip like mad, pretty aggressive using soft rubber. Think of it more like a mud tire, but soft, for your hand.Dave_Dynamite: check out http://www.danscomp.com ...your new best friend. -Dan

ah yes Dan's, I have many a catalog from them sitting in my room from over the years haha. Some other decent alternatives are http://www.albes.com and http://www.empirebmx.com all 3 places have excellent prices, service and quality. But Dan's usually gives you free crap when you order stuff like over $100.

Well I don't know if you read in the other thread that I posted in, but aparantly there is a HUGE market for old school bikes on Ebay. Me and my dad sold an old Redline on there for over $800. He had it in front of his bike shop for over a year with a $75 sign on it hah.

Oh man, 5 years ago I actually had a 10 foot high roll in in my backyard. My friends and I always changed out setup around, except for a wallride we made from jacking 2 doors that were going to be thrown out. Had 2 S&M bikes, but I hated the bars. I had to cit them each down to 26 inches since I was a little guy at the time. I also still think I have my old Eastern Jane Comando laying around in storage. I was pretty heavy into dirt. Soon enough I got HEAVY into snowboarding, lol.
NY/ PA/ NJ KA-T for sale soon......email for details.

fly 3 amigos bars
animal top loading stem - the best stem ever

front wheel I had demolition hub and red spokes forgot what rim
back wheel was a mosh but it was so tough for some reason

ok heres a dumb question. can i use soccer shin guards instead of the bmx ones? the reason i ask because target has a set for 10 bucks, and i would just wear them under my jeans. or are the bmx ones longer?

The bmx/skateboard ones are probably made of a thicker/denser composite. Generally soccer shin guards are made to stay really light. But, some is better than none and you can't beat 10 bux.-Dan

Nice pics! Howd that tailwhip go without a Giro? (sp?)I sold my Felt today cos I'm leaving. All I got was a lowsy 40 Euro from the local bike shop. But hey, they gotta make money too. That and I noticed it had a little play in the stem as I was waiting for him to come check it out. Suuuucked when I found that out.

Heyyyy, I rock a Felt frame too. Tailwhips and barspins are fine without a Gyro if as long as you dont do anymore than one at a time. I have to spin them back after everytime I do one, haha.| Quote, originally posted by Dave_Dynamite » | | aw man, i cant see the pics. |
