Title: todays tinkering.
Post by: oberonspacefruit on January 30, 2006, 09:11 PM: i have got to that point like retrogreaser and orb where if you fall across a frame.you can build it up in an afternoon, with no buying bits, which is so 2005. i dont know whether this is a good or a bad thing.
ah well .
i have always fancied one of these and i know they are dissed all the time, but ive tried to build this strong and light so we shall see if it performs as well as its bigger brother, when i hit the skatepark on it this week.
