So I'm already well on the way having totally Club Homeboyed up my Subrosa :-) but as I'm currently off riding with a smashed leg, and bored I thought I'd go further :angel:
Lenny Lentini 'the profit' has a view that if you turn up to a park on a spangling new school ride the 'yoot' will expect to see skills ... if you turn up on something ragged and clearly anti-corporate then they are stoked if you can do anything! ;)
I originally saw this back in an old BMX Plus ... there's another pic of this bike in a Dyno shoes ad but I need to scan it.

I then found out that that bike is still around and was kept 'survivor' ... and it still looks amazing

... so I thought why not go for it and make a new school version of that bike :daumenhoch:
... its going to take a while to 'ride it in' and get the proper look but by MK it will be peachy.
*ALL FINISHED*

Like the idea of this :daumenhoch: But, if you put a backwards snakepost on your Subrosa I will personally come round & kick you in the balls :LolLolLolLol:

Love it. I like the mix on new school and 80's US 2HIP STREET JAM style. Love the stickers and white front tyre. It's gagging for a 540 wall ride!

old people arent allowed stickers ... they are a choking hazard

She's all done but I'm a bit undecided on tyres ... this was always supposed to be a 'new school' build of an early mid school bike. The front 1.9 tyre looked good but I couldn't find a high pressure 1.9 for the rear ... so I got a nice white 2.25 which is fat is f**k ... which rides really well but doesn't look as good ... so I'm still working on sorting this out.
As Len said, following my vocalised inner conflict as to what looks right, '...you and those fukkin tyres!'
;D

That looks so good! That front tyre does look a bit big I suppose, but there's always going to be a few little compromises where this sort of build goes down huh? Custom Riders did have some white/tan Odyssey paths in 2.1 when I looked a while back :daumenhoch:
-
Love it Ed. Newschool in disguise indeed. You'll need to pump the tyres up and get a wider saddle for your far @rse mind........
-
Tyres do look a little chunky but still looks great... need to sort myself a new school ride sometime. :daumenhoch:
-
Looks great, keep the fat tire.. just brings it into the present time rather than being a replica.. with the 28t gearing, hofman bars etc.. it all fits together nicely as new-school with a mid/old vibe.....
Catch up soon..
-
think I've got it sorted now ... 1.95 Oddy path front and 1.95 V monster rear :daumenhoch:
Spenair! I need that tyre I gave you back fistblump fistblump ;D
