I've got one and love it, a friend of mine built a taj frame at into a rad cafe thing.

I'd go for it, but keep in mind the bb is pretty low.

So good

Still remember the check that Kevin Porter did in DIG when he had his Green one.
Dead Memory stickers, slammed fork and frame dropouts and a nokon cable!

One of my favorite frame colors ever!

Got some of those Animal MTT tires in 2.3.

After a couple commutes I've found the grooves are the exact right size for gravel (from the chip gravel roads that is my town) to get stuck and flung at me at high velocity.

I need fenders for my BMX.

Think I'm gonna go ahead and snag some 2.10's and send these down the river.

Snagged a pair of S&M XLT forks with a stripped cap, the actual welded in insert....

Mashed a star in and tack welded it in

Free forks are the best forks

Ordered a BSD Raider 21.6 and the 10" bars to match.
It's going to feel awesome.

I have been weirdly tempted to do this lately too... At 6'2" I think I could pull it off but I think it might still be overkill. Wish the Raider had a size between 21 and 21.6 though. Probably end up just sticking with my 21" V1 BSD Forever a bit longer and get some 9" bars with some upsweep and a decently high stem come spring and see how that feels for my back.

took it down a handrail finally, 11 years in the making

Congrats dude!

Doesn't the forever come in 21.4 or something also?

I like that just about every BSD frame out there has a solid 3-4 wide size ranges.

I was tempted to buy a deuce deuce at one point also, then saw the price tag and total lack of any inovation (besides a long TT) and decided fuck that noise.

Picked up a pair of Animal MTT also, I know people seem to dislike them but I've always dug em since I first saw them.

I looked at em a bit.

Big part of the Raider that I really dig is the fact that the back end is still decently short.
I've been playing around with 24" bikes and 26" bikes for some time now, and after getting back on the 20 I decided I'm here to stay.

I wanna be that weird old dude with the spikey blond hair and knee socks still riding around on a cruiser doing bunny hops, 180's and hop manuals all over town.

I'm only 6ft 3, but have been riding a 26 with a 22+ TT for awhile.
Whenever I jump on the current 21" I have it feels super tiny.

Just briding the gap more then anything!

Still trying to sort flat 3's, it's haunted me for years now.

Up to probably 5 in 20 are legit, 5 more are complete fuck ups and the last 10 are tire tap huckfucks.

someday.

Buddy bought some banton grips and I must say they are utter shit!
Probably the worst grip I've ever felt.

I put it back together and did some 3'sssss, eating through my p-series grips. I use to love these but rolling my hand on tables seems to be the death of em. Vans Cult grips!

DID SHRED IT.

Best day of riding in years, got flat 3's back and went ahead and learned them up shit.
Learned fast plant 3's
did some solid lines that I wouldn't have dreamed of 2 months ago

Got home and tore it down and painted it emerald green
