Well I live in a big ol' house in the Japanese countryside, so you're welcome to stay over if you ever make it here. Plus, as you know, I have several BMX you could use to cruise around the rice paddies. :daumenhoch:

I now realise that those old, ODi Ruffians were taken off for a reason - they'd gone gummy! Even with gloves on, the feeling was still meh, so even though I liked the look of them, they had to go. I therefore replaced them with these Northshore ones by Lizard Skins. They were missing the plastic end caps but I had some unused Odyssey Par Ends lying around, so paired them up with those. They're a much chunkier grip than I'm used to and the trade-off for that extra cushioning is less feel. Fine for hooning it around the rice paddies but I'm not sure I'd like to race with them. Anyway, I think they look good, so they're staying. :daumenhoch:

I was racing last weekend and one of the elite riders was the ex-Quamen pro that had the white "RF3" prototype mentioned earlier in this thread. I therefore took the chance to introduce myself and told him about my Quamen. He was understandably surprised and Airdropped some of my photos of the bike. He also said that he still had his Quamen at home! That means that at least two of the three prototypes are in Japan! :daumenhoch:
He also has his own bike park/race track and invited me to visit sometime. I said that I'd go and would also take the Quamen along, so that's the plan for later in the year! :)
Midschoolfool:
Stunning pics as ever mate.
Mikku:
Thanks man! Now if I can just snap some shots of the two prototype frames together, I'll be a happy chappy! :D
