(no subject)
i think im gonna burn myself out posting so often!!! haha
well i only posting because it is (hopefully, touching wooden table etc) going to be a rather big event for me tomorrow night. I've finally made the decision to get a new frame for my bmx! I know!!!? the frame i have isnt broken or anything. But its heavy. Way heavier than all the other guys bikes and on sunday I was out riding and ended up pulling my back just jumping straight. That was it! I made the decision that night that i've got to help my back out, and making my bike lighter (im hoping again) will do that.
I've had this frame for just over 3 years anyway, not much has majorly changed on my bike since i first got it as a complete. I've changed the bars because i bent them and the crank set because i bent the chain wheel. But other than grips, seat and tyres thats it. So a new frame, even though its a second hand one from jordan is really exciting!! My bike is going to be different! WOO!
I had to buy a Mid-kit for it though to convert my bottom bracket from US size (big!! naturally haha) to the smaller mid bracket size that is on the Mutiny Sinister Im getting. And a slim line seat clamp because jordan had cut it right down. Im also going to see if i can hack my seat tube down some more. It sounds petty but apparently it all helps out.
Next will be changing the huge chain ring i have with bash guard to a smaller lighter one as mine is quite a sizeable chunk of metal. But thats for another month. :D
Anyway im excited so i thought i would post.
this is the frame im getting : A Mutiny Sinister 2007 just been re-powdercoated in black.
I also got the uk bmx vid : Nang. Which you can see the trailer for here if your interested.
toodle pipski. Heres hoping my back is better so i can ride the new frame sometime this weekend.
