What Brown did for me Friday...
....Pulled into the driveway and saw the box sitting by the front door, waiting.
Giddy, I took the box to the kitchen for opening...
Carefully, the box is cut open to reveal shiny new BMX goodness...

I know they're nothing fancy but i've not had a new pair of these since the mid 80s...
60 minutes later and they're ready to play...

Its the little things that make me happy sometimes.![]()
Now I need to get some brake pads, forgot about those.![]()

I can't believe they just leave things by the front door like that!! I'm amazed every time I read it.
Having said that, AWESOME!! I'd be pretty happy to. Like Christmas in August.
I celebrate CHRISTMAS, I do not celebrate "The Holidays"
Also, Terry Fox is one of the greatest humans of all time. He just happens to be Canadian :-)

Re: What Brown did for me Friday...
It took you an hour to install tires and mags? LOL... just kidding. They look great. New Tuffs are the most cost-effective solution for decent OS wheels anymore in my opinion. I have a set on my Master and one of my GT's. Clean, new, smooth rolling, I sound like a commercial, but I love them.
That is an awesome GT there!

Daaayum... I would think that wheels and tires would be forgotten for at least... 20 minutes if that was the delivery person.

That GT is awesome. Very clean & simple. I think the Tuffs really sets it off.
Would you look at this doughnut?

Re: What Brown did for me Friday...
Thanks for your thoughts and opinions on the GT. The more I look at it the more I think they'll stay right where they are. I do want to see how they look on the Mongoose though... Perhaps another set is in my future.
