Ya, wicky, the saddle will do, albeit it is designed for old bums.

You've got some pretty nice componentry there, except for your rear brakes. They're pull-action cantilevers...

Also, ditch your reflectors, especially the one on your handlebar, but most especially the twon on your spokes. You can keep the reflector on your seatpost, if you want. The 'real' bikes don't run with reflectors. Plus, they're not allowed at the BMX track anyway.

You also might want to swap out your front brake gyro - any lacking in front brake performance will undoubtedly be sourced from the flex in that gyro. A quality gyro is a must.

BTW, what kind of brakes are those? Name?

 

Oh, another bike thread..

 

Mom - no ramps for awhile. I'm old right now.... not many actors, sorry. I saw Micheal Keaton and Fonzie eating at a restaraunt. And somebody else, can't remember her name. Whats his name's wife.

Chazmo - that the name of a bike company that makes BMX and hybrid bikes.

Alex - I just got it home so I've got to take all that junk off yet. So far I'm pretty happy with the brakes. They are Tektro's, I agree with what you say, they are one model down from what I would've prefered, but so far they are actually okay. I'll keep my eye on the gyro, so far I'm pretty happy with the responce. The gyro only hits the back brakes, the fronts go through the forks. They didn't used to do that when I had a bike (eons ago). these will be okay while I get myself back into the swing of thins, I'm not going pro anytime soon, I just wanna ride around the neighborhood. Right now this bike is above what I am able to dish out.....

 

I really wish there'd been BMX bikes when I was a kid. I really feel screwed. BMX and mountain bikes have revolutionized biking. Luckily, I was around for the mountain biking revolution in CA 10 years ago, so I got a taste of that. But I was too old for BMX when it got popular.

I loved my Raleigh Chopper (with my 5 speed crotch shifter), but I'd've been all over BMX if it'd existed.

 

The bmx helps me to feel young again, while reminding my knees and muscles how old they are..... it's fun.

 

How old are you, wick?

 

30 last year......

 

ya man, BMX is a bitch on your thighs and knees, esp. when you try to cruise on them

 

You're in your prime, my man!!! Just wear pads.

 

so far the hills get me pretty bad......
