On One "The Gimp" - What I was riding back in 2006
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
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.
Nice! I'm considering getting a bmx or building something more like this for the winter as I really can't be fucked with the mud around where I am.
Heh, I just sold my bmx this summer. Last few years every time I took it for a ride I fucked up some part of my body. At worst half a year recovering ancle from neural damage
Next bike will be some kind of commuter/heavy touring bike to make company with my trail bike.
Haha, my other sports are skateboarding and kickboxing so I feel like the bmx may be the safest option of those three in terms of injuries xD
I have a Ragley Trig Trig Picture as my commuter. Sitting in standard guise with the more MTB style tyres for the winter right now but intend to get some deep dish 700c rims with slicker tyres once the weather gets better next year :D
That's a sweet looking rig, would be shame if someone put a ricer bar and a dropper post in it ;)
