It uses more BMX parts then MTB parts, so I deem it worthy.

Here's an idea... Get the f*ck out of my thread, junior, before I take my big wheels and ride up and down your worthless, ignorant ass.

Thats what you should have said to begin with. Deciding to take the bitch way out, with a blanketing 'RIDE BMX' statement, does little more then make you look dumb.

I can ride whatever I want. I've had plenty of BMXs, and was ready for something a little different. If you rode this bike, you'd notice it feels very similar to a BMX.

The last 'MTB' I had before going over purely to BMX was a 24" wheeled bike, but with a 26" spec frame, so it was never optimized for what I did.
The USB was designed around 24" wheels with the option of using a fork, and gets built with about 80% BMX parts, so I new it would be familiar territory, just bigger.

I've been thinking about getting another big wheels for a while. The timing was right, the deal was there, so I went for it.

I have no hate for any type of riding. I have a DH and a road bike as well. I even like skatebording and rollerblading. I just hate ignorant people that can't pull their heads out of their asses.

Interestingly, this site tends to be worse for that, then pure BMX sites.

More or less. A few things are taking some getting used to, like full cabs. I might swap out the tires for the KHE 24" ones when they come available, which should make a big difference.

I just need more time on the bike. I'll get 'er done though.

That looks awsome Aaron, I've always been a fan of mollys.

How does it compare to the bmx?
Edit, question allready asked and answered.

I had been thinking about buying one and then swapping most of the parts off my BMX onto it, but didn't really want to buy the frame new. I've always wanted one since they first came out.

So when this one came up for trade(didn't look anything like how it does now), I was all over it.

About 26lbs, I think. It was 25.5 with MG1 pedals, so I'm assuming the trailmixes weigh about half a pound more.

When the KHEs come out, they should take off about 1.5lbs or so. It doesn't feel all that heavy to ride really, but that much rotational mass will make a big difference. Its already the thing I notice most between this and the old BMX.
