Snapped the face plate tightening my crown royal v2 stem. Only had it a little over a month. Not happy. Threw the DLT on my cruiser and put my trusty Challenger back on the 20.

As I was walking past I gave it a brief look, in that brief second a wave of memories came flashing by, meeting all those people, the good times with your friends, going to new places, scaring yourself and being proud of pulling a trick...and I thought to myself; what a piece of shit.

I decided to refresh most of my bike over the last three weeks. Just this week I received a new frame, new sprocket, and a badass fat seat. Today I put on some new front hub collars, re-greased my freecoaster, and I'm about to put a nokon cable on my front brakes with some jaguar inner housing. I'm so stoked on dialing things in again!

^ You got the Tan SFA right? Saw a set up on T-1s FB pages super similar to your bike with the new SFA frame, so i kinda guessed it was yours :)

Haha! Yeah, that was me. Early monday morning I was just minutes away from placing an order for a tan one through blackout, but I decided to check T1's website first for the freaky-friday update. I'm super thankful that I did, because this thing to me is one beauty of a bmx bike.

I love my SFA, i got this/last years model direct from Joe. I bought it for a trails bike & have gradually been piecing it together, waiting on a cyclops stem & then im gunna get some new forks, a brake set up & probably some 8.85" T-1 bars & it'll be pretty much complete. On the other side of that ive got a Custom FBM coming which is for Flatland/Street which is worlds apart from the long, stable & smooth feeling SFA.

PS.. Bike Check! :)

That sounds so badass, man! Joe has always been awesome whenever I've purchased frames/etc. from him in the past, and this time was no different. I'm super pumped to have another T1 frame with welded mounts, and to have supported one of the best dudes in bmx. A bike check may happen soon, depending on when I can get out my camera.

Went for a ride last night, noticed that my Fly cranks had developed profile wobble on the right arm. Spindle bolt tight arm still wobbles. took them apart today. cleaned everything up. degreased the spindle and cranks arm. coated everything with Red loctite. I'm hoping it gets me thru the month or 2 of riding. Get new cranks in the winter

In the same boat with the fly cranks, cracked one arm replaced it then the other cracked too, spindle splines all destroyed resulting in wobbling and flexing (spindle is five years old tho).

Got a new frame. Trying to sell the rest of it to get some new tires and pedals.
