CELT Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well , the GT turned out to be a 1998 Performer , which is fine with me . It's missing the original seat & grips but everything else is there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts- Frame- Volume 781 Fork- Odyssey dirt Stem- Fly potencia Bars- Fly tierra Seat- Odyssey impact post, aitken seat Cranks- Stolen team, raw, redline platform pedals that came on my mtb Back wheel- Primo mix 9t, sun rhyno lite xl, odyssey spokes Front wheel- g-sport marmoset laced to a rhyno lite xl with odyssey spokes Brakes- tektro calipers, odyssey lever, odyssey slic cable Of course as soon as it's done it gets all shitty and rainy, but I'm stoked to maybe ride the indoor park and some trails when it gets dry!

soul vice Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Yeah I'm real happy with it, I didn't really have to skimp on much and I'm happy with my parts choices.

CELT Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Wow , been catching hell from a lot of old skate friends for being so into BMX . I mean hell I'm 34 , and was lucky enough to have seen Skateboarding & BMX both in their " Golden Years " . I used to ride my GT Mach One ( R.I.P. ) or Diamondback Cool Streak with my Jason Jessee or Tom Knox setup on my handlebars . If I saw something to jump I'd jump some dirt , if I saw something to skate I went for it . We did it all back then a fact kids these days fail to remember , and sadly stick to one over the other . I told Evan to " Do it all , and don't let anyone give you any shit for doing so...but stay away from rollerblades " . :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickos Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 What's the hardest part about taking up roller blading...? Telling your folks that you're gay. Now back to BMXs - speaking of DBs guess what's currently in the post and making it's way to Uncle Brickos... She's had a shit load of work done to her so cosmetically she looks rooted...
