@@Gma7788 the bike looks nothing like this now. All the stock parts are wrapped and locked up in a sealed crate. I find it absolutely hilarious that you spent all that time critiquing a bone stock bicycle. Everything you said was subjective and from your personal tastes. I do have another video of the bike being about 90% complete. Feel free to tell me what I did wrong, as you believe you are an authority on all things BMX and color schemes. Can't wait.

@@coletrick8748 4130 everywhere.

@@onewheelisbetterthan2 I couldn't find a home to rent, but I found a metal barn to rent. This was setup inside the back of said barn to control dust and rodents.

@@SIGFREDOVELEZVELEZ Entiendo mucho Español, pero no puedo digo mucho. Que año es tu bicicleta?

@@eval7952 with the 28 tooth, the ratio is similar to old school, but taking off is labored. The standard 25 tooth on current day bikes is great for taking off, but top speed is quite slow. The 27 tooth has an easier launch, but keeps most of the top end.

My greatest fear is that I will "finish" this one and start another. Every time I look at a complete bike... "This stupid toy literally costs the same as my Acura.".

Also...Love the Tay remix

​@@FiendsteinI had to ScotchGuard the whole thing and didn't want to taint the gardens. I'll break it all down after work tomorrow. Took 4 cans and 1 can eith 50% extra, so.... 5.5 cans.

@@TheDwightMamba I was gonna ask if that was your new mansion lol

@@Fiendstein just at racetracks.

@@NewEdgeDesigns the quality is not there for the price. It's by no means trash though. Gary Turner is still a brand though. His son is making bikes and you can order frame/forkbars or a complete bike from them. GT got bought out a long time ago.

@@TheDwightMamba thanks for the reply..if I was to buy a used one what would be a fair offer?? They are asking $900 with skyway tough || wheels..

@@NewEdgeDesigns $900 is about the going rate. The white ones are worth more for their low numbers during Covid 19.

@@KmarkYT I am teaching a construction class in Detroit for a few more weeks. Sad I missed you, man!!!

@@TheDwightMamba Darn!

@@Beaglesrock they are my ex's cats. I had to live in that tent to keep them out of a shelter. That tent was cleaner than most people's homes. I'm back to living in a normal house again and have a pretty kick ass camping rig in the storage unit. I pooped in a bucket for a year. The litter boxes were the last of my worries.

I hear ya,my ex got the house though,I got the beagles.glad to hear you all set up again.👍

@@Beaglesrock I never planned on being a cat person. The whole time I was in that tent, I told those cats we were going to be fine.

And I thought the current Haros were up there. Although, I have more than that into this one now.

@@TheDwightMamba I dropped over 1200 in 1986 building mine but still. 2400 sounds ridiculous especially when its brand loyal people buying for nostalgia.

Ever heard of the 25 year rule? If you look at for sale posts, they are priced high and nobody is buying. The market peaked. 25 years is the sweet spot to sell something from the hobby world. After that, it declines.

I'm over $2,500 into the bike and I consider it my midlife crisis.

I''ve never been married, so I don't get it.

The tent was in the back of a metal barn and I lived in it for a year.. When it wasn't a cold environment, it was a sweltering hot one. Thank you for commenting, obviously.

They were the reason I spent almost a year in that tent. I got an ex out before Covid 19 became a thing. It's safe to say they are my cats now.

It feels like a mix of the old with the new. The geometry is leaning towards a modern street bike, but it's great to ride.

This was without a doubt the hardest year of my life. Glad it's over.

@@TheDwightMamba Best wishes Not just for next year but the rest of your future life brother.

I have been out of there for almost a year. Thank you!

Thankfully I pulled off a year in there without incident, because I don't live in the attic of a real nation. Now I'm in a house again and the cats never went into a shelter to be separated. They were the only reason I had to do that. Be nicer to people and maybe your life won't be so miserable that you must laugh at strangers on the internet.

I have been out of there for almost a year. And yes, the ladies are still with me.

@@TheDwightMamba That is so good to hear. I hope you guys are doing weLL ☺ PLs keep Safe! 👍

For me, left side blades spit wood chips under my glasses. Right side blades can be seen where the blade meets the pencil line and chips fly at an angle that is near impossible to get under my eye protection. My eyes are sapphire blue and my hope is that they are my ticket out of this manual labor nonsense. Looking for a lady with a private jet and a persistent cough.

If you are in the market for a cordless circular saw, the 7 1/4" Milwaukee runs like it's plugged into a wall outlet. Bosch makes a 7 1/4", but I'm so happy with the M18, I won't need to try it.

How terrible is your vision?

You are correct, random dude with zero subs. I will change everything back to stock.... only after I see a video of your BMX. I will not be holding my breath.

Still waiting on a link to see your bike. I highly doubt you have anything close to this dopeness.

Much better launches!

New video coming in a few weeks from the Gridlife Midwest Festival.

Accidentally built a parade bike. I originally set out to make a rider, but plans change if you give them enough time.

There will be a reveal video in a few weeks of an over the top build on the bike. Can't wait. Just a few more pieces.

Doing great. I live in a house again.

The tent was in the back of a barn with power.

I train dogs, but pretty much serve these cats. They have me quite well trained.

Hello there!

@@TheDwightMamba hi my Friend ....have you see my new bmx Video?nice time from germany.

Doing great here in Michigan. Just ordered a custom set of wheels with the BSD Revolution freecoaster. I can't wait for them to arrive!

I'm in the middle of a total rebuild on it. The black parts started getting on my nerves, so everything is being replaced or powdercoated in white with a few jet-fuel accents. Just ordered my wheels and tires from Scotty Cranmer Bicycles in Jersey. I can't wait to put them on!

@@TheDwightMamba that thing is sick, the frame reminds me of my 99 Dyno Compe brown sugar

@@Freud_Mayweather , I'm probably going to have at least $2K into her when it's done.

I can't wait to show the complete redo. Going with a complete white-out with a few jet-fuel and purple accents.

Just playing with my bike as I wait on riding weather. How's it going?

I’m doing great! I’m taking TH-cam as a full on career as of now since I’m making money from it!

@@KmarkYT incredible!

@@KmarkYT , I'm just now starting to gain steam with mine. Getting 25 subs a month as TH-cam is already throwing advertising all over my stuff. As soon as I hit 1,000, I get my back pay. Look forward to doing a collaboration with you.

Indeed! That's a grail bike.

Samsung TV with a pair of Samsung phones. I pay TH-cam $12/month to be able to download shows that can play off-line, because the metal barn the tent was in let's zero signal in or out. Thankfully, the cats and I are living in a house again. It took almost a year to find something, but I told those ladies we were all making it out of there together and Luna is purring on my chest and Duchess is sleeping next to my left arm. Now that the dust has settled, I have the most sarcastic camping setup possible. Living in a tent in the winter on short notice is more expensive than I ever thought it could be.

@@TheDwightMamba I glad to know you are good and the cats are well please give them a hug from my wife and i

@@normanwarren719 , I kicked my ex out weeks before Covid. I kept her dogs for about half a year, but here we are 3 years later and she's married with new cats. I would do this again for them if I had to. Glad it's over though. Those ladies cuddle me nightly. One on my chest and her daughter on my left.

The height is adjusted with spacers or by buying a stem with a higher mounting point. The geometry on this bike is excellent for me [6' tall]. 20.75" top-tube seems to be choice. My real gripe with the bike seems to be a common one, which is massive wheel hop. The hubs are nowhere near centered. When I went to fix it, I discovered they stripped half the nipples with spokes poking all the way out. On the other side of both rims they are way too short. Since I'm building new wheels anyway. It's not a massive gripe. I'll let a bike shop deal with whatever it takes to true them and they'll go on another bike down the road. I'm switching to a 27 tooth up front. 28 is too tall and the industry standard 25 tooth is way too short for me. Hopefully 27 is mu sweet spot. The new gear ratios help drop the weight and clear ramp coping so much easier. I thought it looked goofy at first, but it has grown on me. I look forward to making a video once the build is done.

Another way to adjust is with shorter or taller bars.
