Rad!  :daumenhoch: What frame is that? Can't see it too good on my phone.

it's a mcneil loden frame with inertia street forks, had it a few years now but still rides great. couple of nice features on it, it has taperlock dropouts to stop the wheel from slipping which works as good as chain tensioners and it also takes an old school size seatpost. took it to the skatepark last night to try the new bars out, i'll stick up a little vid tomorrow.

Have you cut them down at all John?

yeah cut an inch off each side, the 10mm wide angle lens makes them look huge though. 2 hour session at the skatepark on sunday and got 1 minute of half decent video out of it.
