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

WOW, just WOW, what a beautiful bike, i think a 70mm suspension wouldnt be bad, but its all up to you m8
how much better it brake with tar on the rims?? is it really that big of a difference?
just noticed that stem looks a lot like the transition temple lite stem for mtb

Great Job you've done on ur bike though, really sweet

I may put lowered suspension on it later on, if I can find a fork I want with a price thats right.

The tar makes a big difference. I'm only using it because Simple Green isn't working too well on my rear rim. If I get a chrome rim later on, I will go back to it.
The tar basically causes your brake pads to stick to your rim like glue. It is very loud, and can get irritating as hell, but the increased performance is huge.

Also, I have the right, because I gave it to myself. Besides, I was nice enough to type out that parts review at the top of the page.

Weird I did the opposite of you... built a 24" dirtjumper then realised what I actually wanted was a BMX. Theyre super fun to ride though, and definatly more forgiving. Its too bad you cant get some lowered sherman jumpers on that thing, those forks were the shit. But nice ride man. Could you not find like a 24" specific rigid fork? That one looks way long.

Actually dude, its been established that the Subrosa was not a BMX, despite being from a BMX company.


Seriously though, i'd like to try riding one of those things.

I wouldn't get a 24" specific fork, because it would drop the BB and front end far too much. Really, thats the only thing separating my bike from a cruiser. The front fork and lower bars.

Not a whole lot of choice out there for cruiser forks, I should think. Most would be for racing, not 'freestlye' riding.
