and it looks fantastic...!!!

[MikeyShep]

Thankyou

[leistonbmx]

Parts list seems alright actually.
Get a new frame at some point and it could be real good.

[bigamac]

i know you said your stem is upside down, but why have you done this?

[MikeyShep]

Ahh i didnt put the stem upside down on purpose .. Id just put it on and didnt realise it was wrong till after i looked at the pics

[monkeysan]

it looks pretty cool actually

[ben_daniels]

cut the top of the seat tube down
then it will look good with the seat lower.
but whatever you want man.

[MikeyShep]

I was thinking of doing that but I'm just going to save up and buy a pivitol seat and post I think.

Thanks,
I dont think the frame is too bad to be honest. Cant wait to upgrade it though
Also iv just paid for a pivitol seat and post so will hopefully have a decent looking seat by next week.


Thanks again everyone.

[LukeS]

i'll be going for a new frame in the new year so you can have mine for pretty cheap if you wanted as it's a little battered but still mint to ride

[SiRidesBmx]

looks great for your first custom
I'm not like the upside down stem though :S
