yes ben, its my primate. had a bit of a financial snag so i had to sell my tiethe f-25 forkrra and ruben frame and some other random parts. i was about to get that standard headset that used integrated bearings since my f-25 fork has the built in race but het it worked out perfect! i was getting ready to paint everything gloss black but for some reason like the red and blue. plus i'm lazy

My grips have always lasted twice as long if I keep them straight and not twisted. Just a thought...

Rode the piss out of it..... Haha not really, well sort of if nibbling counts. Just did fun dumb tricks with my friend today and messed around on some baby dirt kickers and rollers. Most fun I've had in a long time. Getting better at gauging when to fullcab

Called my buddy about the crack in my frame, he is gonna get a hold of the house and let me know what they would like me to do. For now the crack is fairly small and has not separated yet. Its also not in the highest stress area which begs the question how the hell did it crack there?

Going to be nice having more than a 1/16" in sprocket clearance and now have a great chain alignment.
Chase hawk grips now. I seem to not be able to find my favorite grip. So ill try these out.

I think it looks cool. Kinda red white a blue softly. America
