merrybike (Jan 21, 2011 at 6:44)

thanks bro! esp coming from you...

recklessness (Jan 21, 2011 at 6:46)

My opinion means shit LOL. I grind on the right, so I have nothing but love for this bike once the tall bars are on. Good job dude.

merrybike (Jan 21, 2011 at 6:50)

ha thanks!

mtb stems are higher and shorter = better..... but now I want again a capital with bmx stem... bmx front hub...overbuild... no stems with rise and short ones. Fly potencia is 45mm, but looks ugly this way. Topload - heard bad things about it. Should be ok with mtb handlebar but looks crazy on mtb. 30mm spacers? 5" bars? high forks? I think we need 200mm headtubes ahahahhaa...

merrybike (Jan 21, 2011 at 7:15)

Its going back soon lukasz! Just i need a high front end, but my bars have not arived yet!

lauwe-pokoe (Jan 21, 2011 at 8:31)

well if topload is good enough for lots of bmxers I'm sure it'll work for the mtb guys too.

merrybike (Jan 21, 2011 at 8:32)

True. It is a bit weaker tho. Im flipping it back anyways

jjfjoel1 (Jan 21, 2011 at 19:19)

an atomlab gi 60 would be sick on this but mad respect on this sick bike man

merrybike (Jan 21, 2011 at 20:02)

No it would not

jjfjoel1 (Jan 21, 2011 at 20:20)

i disagree but you know thats just my preference all and all its a sick bike and i dont want to argue with anyone

enjoy this sick wip. peace

merrybike (Jan 21, 2011 at 20:23)

Haha thanks bro. Id like one for sure, but they feel akward and are high.

jjfjoel1 (Jan 21, 2011 at 20:27)

no prob but i understand your reasoning for not wanting one but im just sayin it would be mint with a gi 60 but dont get me wrong im not disin the rigid its all just preference also sorry for repeating myself so much
