This is my grown-up bmx neighborhood bike. It was actually relatively inexpensive until I started adding personal touches....like different wheels, tires, brakes, seat, stem, pedals, etc. BUT...it's a fun bike for sure.
Cool! I found a use for that inexpensive tandem crankset off of ebay.
This year I hope to give it some fancy wheels and Thomson jiblets. Rode 32:20 last year. This year I'm trying to get on top of 32:18. We'll see how that goes ...
I live in Salinas, Ca. I decided to run BMX cranks and chain ring just to be different. The gearing is actually 23/13 which is basically the same as 32/18. It works pretty good too!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This is my Actual BMX 29er and an SS converted to BMX style . I know these probly aint considered REAL bikes to some of you MTBers , but i got addicted to bmx 2 years ago and now have numerouse bikes 12" ,16", 20 , 24 ,26" and these 29ers .The problem is that im too big and old for the smaller bikes but i've seen the light and am considering a Cannondale 29er / lefty fork but since the economy isnt that great right now i just have to deal with what i have .
Just getting back into it - commuted for 3 years in Baltimore, but have never had the time or money to get into trail riding. Wow. This bike is really rewarding to ride, if that makes sense...it doesn't make anything easy, but just literally puts a smile on my face when I'm ripping up miles of singletrack (probably the same reason most of you ride SS).
:thumbsup:
photos were taken while riding around town, the bike IS dirty now.
Custom frame and fork from an upstart builder in Viroqua, WI - Darrell Anders ~ Bluedog Customs. True Tember OX plat, fillet brazed, I absolutely love it. I will post a better picture soon.
OMG! there's another orange Kona Unit out there.
High Five!
I was beginning to think I was the only one.
