BMXmuseum.com Forums

Okay, here it is finally......now I know there are a lot of purists on this forum that may not agree with some of the things I've done on this build. I am not a purist, never was, I build my bikes the way I like them, use the parts that work best for me, and if something is not up to my standard I am refinishing it, whether it is nos or not.

i would like to ask that you please respect my opinion and do not bash on my thread.


Thanks!
