Post by: Holmetech on January 31, 2006, 08:40 PM: Looking good mate.Noticed you've put a cheap diamond back crank on it.I did the same with mine,the crank is quite good though surprisingly.
Hope your bike is for riding and not just showing?

Thanks for all the good feedback, i know it's yet another green beat but i still love it! with regards the crank, yes it was cheap (a fiver i think) but i think it looks pretty good and as it's going to be a rider and not a show bike (plus funds are mega tight) i can't afford such expensive items as flights ;)

Just got to get the chain and i hope to be at a meet pretty soon to show off my freestyle skills!!! or should that be......"he rides up to the ramp......goes for a kickturn........splatt!!! a broken wrist and concrete burns!" :daumenhoch:
