What were you guys riding back in the day? This was the final form of my bike back when I was a teenager.

One One Gimp frame

FSA pig three piece cranks

Single speed conversion

24inch Atomlab rear wheel with DMR moto

26inch Atomlab front with DMR moto digger

Manitou forks

DMR wing bars and zip grips

DMR V8 pedals

I was chasing that slack head angle before it was cool apparently, not that I knew that was even a thing back then :D

My brakes were always my feet and I only recently got a saddle in these pictures as I rode without a saddle for around 4 years prior to this.

I wish I still had this bike but sadly it moved on a long time ago now.

I had a Norco Spitfire when I was a teen. https://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/norco/107821 (Yes I'm old) The one in the pic is bare, mine had all the foam pads but I can't find a pic of one with them still on.)
