An older guy that works at the glass shop across from my house had a bunch of old parts and junk "Laying out at his house from when he used to race pro BMX and was sponsored by GT" WOW!! SO he brought me a bunch of parts! Between what he gave me and my own stash I cam up with about everything! some GT mohawk hubs and rims, a quick change sprocket, some black chrome dia-compe brakes and a GT seat post clamp and an old 'drain pipe' seat post!

This is the final product! Turned out to be a very fast and balanced bike, not to mention the black and chrome looks killer!

you should have seen my 45 year old buddy reliving his youth on it after we got it all together!

Im not too familiar with the cranks. I though this was a 3 piece crank, but a 3 piece crank is the crank its self, not the chain ring. what is the quick change chain ring called? I found another one, but with redline chromoly crank set and redline sprocket today at the yard!

mine gets just truck loads of bicycles every day! plus walmart throws the bikes here. brand new bikes that are assembled wrong. I have tons of new tires, wheels, chains, brakes, etc.... Its kind of nice when I find an oldschool REDLINE, GT or Diamondback or whatever frame, throw a brand new set of rollers, brakes, grips on it and ride it!

yeah, they have a whole sale area where they resell stuff!

Very cool. It's awesome to see kids doing some wrenching.

He is a SMART kid. My son and Daughter really are my life. I wake up every morning thinking what I can do to make their life a better one.

Frontier days is going on here in Cheyenne (if you never heard of it GOOGLE IT!)
there is a Marines booth with a pull up bar and all the dumbass cowboys were there trying to do pullups. Even the marine could only bang out 6 good solid pullups. So my 6 year old son wants to try and a 20 something cowboy was saying kids couldn do it with a 2 inch diameter arm, so I made him a side bet of a 6 pack (at the park thats 5.50 a beer!) Just previos to that like 10 kids went through from like 3rd grade to 6th grade age and not one of them could even do one pull up. even a strong looking little guy could barely pull one off.....
So tyler goes up there, and just straight bangs out 18 pullups then I think he got bored and jumped down, and said.. "thats enough for now, dad. Ill go do more in a min"
LOL!
Even the Marines had to pick his jaw up off the ground! The marine dug and dug for all his free stuff, and gave Tyler a PILE of stuff, a leather jacket that would fit me, some kids fatigues with marine patches, a cooler, a cup, pretty much every cool freebie he could get! LOL!
Then before we left, Tylers like.. I want to do 10 more and he jumps himself up there and does 10 more like a walk in the park.
He is 6 years old and a high green belt in tae kwon do. Multiple first place trophies for tournaments and stuff..... Hes an awesome kid!

Grandma was here lastnght and she was joking about him getting a job. He just laughs and says..you dont need a job, you just need to be smart, and find somehting cheap then sell it for more money. then take some of that money and buy something else cheap. (this is a 6 year old kindergartener!) he will be succesfull in life!
