planning on 22t front after i make a bashgaurd for the mounts on the frame

trials/street rig. its RADICAL. i love it. i gotta get used to the geometry change from a long UCI-style trials-specific bike, but i know its gonna be awesome for trials and street riding. i stand by my statement that real men ride RIGID. its an experience everyone should have and love. i bet if some DH'ers and huckers ran a rigid bike every once in a while they'd end up a lot better, rigid teaches you so much.
