Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...

Oops :LolLolLolLol:
I was speaking to an insider last night. He told me that Source went bankrupt. Basically they went nuts during the pandemic and over ordered, and thus when the stop happened they were screwed. They have rescued themselves though. I don't know the ins and outs of business but yeah, you can read about it here.

So why do I mention this? well, I noticed that there were three US made S&M frames up for ?349. Which is almost half of what they should sell for. I last saw this when I bought my red NBD, something I had never seen before. Again though, it was right around the time Source bought millions of pounds worth of parts and etc.
Any way, I thought about maybe doing another new school S&M. IDK why, but I get more pleasure now out of making new bikes. Maybe because the ones I would want to do are not going to happen, no idea.
Thought about getting one of those S&Ms, but then found out that the Fit Mixtape V3 was under half price at ?199. It's basically a high end S&M. Thermal X tubing, all sorts of casting and CNC only it is made in Taiwan. TBH I don't care about that much. It was available in like a sand beige and blue. Then I remembered that the Fit Van Homan was blue and I loved it. Then I found out I could do this.
Like I said, it is exactly the same colour as the Van Homan was. And so, for a tenner more.
I mean, no disrespect but I have no idea who Emerson Morgan is?
I then got some parts (some :LolLolLolLol: )
Got some Animal bars under half price.
These for half price.
This. IDK why I went this colour etc, just fancied it.
I then went on Source and bought this.
Gonna stash it all for now. No point buying killer wheels any more, I doubt I will ride it and even if I did they would be more than good enough.
I have some FIT tyres at the flat and so on.

BTW when I say parts and stuff is cheap?
Both shops gave me 10% off at checkout (custom riders and Source).

I just paid for these quite simple but very cool O.G.K. MR-3 grips for the Hirame build. I now have a long wait because they are coming from Canada. I don't mind because they are exactly what I wanted to use on this build.
Sweet :daumenhoch:

More bits. It's aggro to get to the T1 grips I was going to use, so I nabbed these for six quid.
And these. Always look lovely if you aren't running pegs.
Cheap AF. 12, IIRC
And this. May as well.

I had a set of these OGK grips for years I couldnt give them away? I put foam on them and used them in the end and like them :daumenhoch:
