First time seeing bars break like that.

i cant be bothered to search, it would take a long time, but i have seen flybikes bars completely snap off only from the gripping area, absolutely wicked.

Volume Cougar bars? Could a break like that be caused by improper heat-treating?

I started cleaning the surface rust off a spare frame. I'm building some dirt jumps for the city so naturally I need a "trail" bike right..?

After I have it cleaned up completely I'll prime it, paint it, build it and shred it.

Jesus, I seem to read about a busted shadow part once a week. Sod using their stuff!

New pedals and grips turned up but not managed to get ahold of some black paint yet. Annoying!

Last night I swapped my EVO IIs for Superstar brakes and a new cable hanger on my FBM and started putting the ltf together.

Ha Hates abit of a strong word for it but then again ive never seen the appeal of any of shadows stuff when there is so many other parts company's.

Dont suppose anyones ever stripped an Animal Cush seat? I dont want to do it and find out it looks like shit and wreck an ok seat. Just annoyed I bought it in Grey all those years ago.
