Very nice bike mate  :smitten:  Have I been dropping acid  :buck2: or do I see Suntour VX cranks in one photo and then Super Maxys in the next?

"these are not the cranks you are looking for"

well spotted, got some VX's cos thats what they came with, but they are pony only (bit worn) the maxys are for riding and they look identical anyway

Nice ride mate but if you're gonna ride with an Elina you might as well put the VX's on...  ;)

the VX's are worn on the left crank, so they sit cocked and would be horrible to ride. as for the elina, its not mint, got some light scuffing on the back. i dont want to be scared of turning it upside down to fix a puncture.. at the end of the day, its a BMX not a Ming vase  :daumenhoch:

cheers for the props guys  :daumenhoch: i know that at the end of the day, we build bikes for what we want, not what others like (well most of us  ;D ) it always gives me a warm moist feeling when others appreciate the work  :4_17_5:
