    I don't know crap on a cracker about bikes, but I am digging the minimalist-ness of it. Nice work

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    are those 14mm axles or 3/8's?? They look tiny is why I ask. An upgrade to some triple walls with 48 spokes and 14mm would be a nice addition. Bike looks decent. If I still had all my crap I would've gave it to you. Primo bars, seat, pedals. S&M upgraded sprockets, chain. I had it all laying around here some where. If I find it, I'll let you know

    3/8 front 14mm rear.I have a set of sunbig city wheels but no reason to use them.My style is smooth and I hardly case so no reason to waste big bucks on heavy wheels when these double walls do the job hahaa thanks alot though.I still have another bike im piecing together like this one it is an older Haro from early 2k's.It needs alot of love and parts to be complete!.

    Yea the only problem w/the bike was the guy whom I got it from sandblasted the bikes bearings all inside the headset!.So when I took it apart bearings dropped all over the place from being forced around and clogged in sand.I have a new headset on the way after that 100% dialed in.

    I highly recommend you strip it down w/stripper or sandblasting.It makes the can finish alot better than if you just sprayed over scuffed oem paint.Good luck and post up pics of before and after for sure!.
