2012 Hyper Metro

Scrapped bike build

This partial bike was being scrapped. Missing wheels, forks, cranks & sprocket, pedals, seat, and grips. I repainted what was left. I had a few parts around to build it. I had to buy the seat, cranks, stem, grips, and pedals.
I didn't want to "restore" a Walmart bike, so I did what I wanted to do with it. Decided to go a little Old School in style. I've always loved the neon green on black livery, and I had the Monster Energy decals from a project that was sold before completion. I still want to add a laid-back seatpost, black skyways, and neon green freestyle tires. Thanks for looking. Here's the current parts list:
