2002 Solid Bikes Killing Machine

My 2nd Solid...I can't help but love everything this company does.  www.solidbmx.com

I wanted to build a short, strong, killer little street bike that I could thrash around on everyday.  I spoke with Aaron Huff over at Solid Bikes who hooked me up something wicked and got me going with this whole thing.  The bike came out looking and riding in a way I had not expected it to at all, but I'm so psyched about it.  The OD of the forks in comparsison to the OD on the top and down tube of the frame bothers the hell out of me when I look at it....but Im usually riding it and not staring at it hahaha.  Here's a parts list:
