28"x 8" bars... dunno why but should have gone with bigger bars ages ago, makes it way easier to ride

Wheels are lighter than my previous set so its now lighter than a fart...  :daumenhoch:

I like the gay lever...   :-[

I use my middle finger only to brake and i like the lever to come back a long way, tried other levers and they all squash my knuckles, should change the colour but ive never been right fussy... purple/green hubs on its previous wheels...  :idiot2:

I cant be arsed to wait when a colour i want isnt in stock.

Your forks are bent.... haha!

Heard that one twice last week at an outdoor park, pesky kids...  ::)

For those who havent seen Director forks before...

http://www.odysseybmx.com/dailyword/tag/director-forks/

They do look a bit weird at first, had some Unknown FBR forks on for a few weeks but they made the bike front heavy with adding a brake and all its gubbins, so i swapped back to the Directors
