Title: New guy with a new build. (Holmes content)
Post by: Miko on October 02, 2007, 04:51 AM

About a month ago, my fiancee and I went to her aunt and uncle's?  Her two little cousins were screwing around on their "freestyle" bikes and their skateboards.  I was teaching them how to ollie and later took one of their bikes for a spin.  Nostalgia began to pump through my veins.  The next day, I began looking for a bike.  The last bike I rode when I was riding religiously was an early-'93 Holmes.  I figured I'd pick up where I left off.  So nearly 15 years later, I built this.

I rock a bell on all my bikes.  When you live in a small downtown area with lots of pedestrians, it becomes quite handy.
 
Oh and dsd.  I'm still looking for all the S&M decal scans I can get.  (hint, hint)  :laugh:
