my wethepeople lofi bmx *snapped now a fly 3 amigos and a vid page 7*
 

im bored and after a thread on hobbies i noticed there were a few bmxers on here

my bike was in peices after a few bits were borrowed by mates whilst i wasnt riding
so i have them all back now and though id give everything a bit of a clean and put it together

i started out with my frame (lofi 20.75) and crank assembled together and the chain (a shadow half link) flapping about lol

few pics of how i spent my morning















now for the wheels (and an explanation of why there are pics of 3 lol)
i have my front wheel which is normal
and 2 back wheels
one is a proper cassette hub (normal wheel)
one is a federal freecoster (which allows you to ride backwards but does have drawbacks if you wanna go forwards lol hence the cassette)







pegs lol (4 of em) soon to be replaced with gsport plegs (xmas prezzie lol)


and the finished product



hopefully summer next year ill be back out on it and doing some silly little manouvers again

sick man, i've got a t1 barcode in cream with brown forks and bars. no brakes, way forward!! were u from, were do you normally ride?

Not into bmx, more hard tail but really nice bike!!

how much has it set you back??

I'm from nuneaton (between Coventry and Birmingham)
normally ride street locally
or epic (creation) or corby

my little toy cost about 1400

too much time on your hands :P jump biking was the way forward ;)

Ha brought my car from corby.

Ouch currently looking to build a jump bike but moneys tight so may buy a cheap ish one and slowly upgrade parts

Yea man awesome stuff, dying to get back into it

all about 26" tbh :p

i cant ride a bmx for shit, but can do a wee bit of trials on one lmao!

I used to ride trials, was into it in a big way, but eventually i kinda fizzled out of it. Would like another bike again though. Had a BMX too, but i couldnt get on with it so stuck to trials lol.

i ride 26 and 24 on the same bike, but its all about DH, my baby cost around £1500 to build and i no wich id rather have :D :P
This is my baybe rollin on 26" halo combats, looks gash prefer 24s

sat on her new 24" halo sas wheels :P

and my beast wearing 24" halo tornados, crankles as the truvativ packed in

Trying to get hold of some more S types 26" in orange

big wheels are ghey in park/street riding though
ive seen mtb park riding (a few guys i know do it) and it looks awkward n sluggish on the ramps
and on the streets you cant double peg rails lol

pretty good for bombing through the woods though lol


oh and jimmy-boy im doing nothing all day everyday so i do have too much time yes lol

Tbh i havent got the bollocks to go jumping off stuff and spinning the handle bars but youve got some seriously nice bikes fellas:cool:

anyone wanna buy my demo frame ? £470 posted bargain :P got a orange 223 on its way

ah so thats you got crippled on!

Eh ?....

thats awesome ha

i remember years ago when i had my huffy lol
was an awesome bike

nice mate.
Slam XLT ftw.

im currently stuck in home due to recently knee surgery after i fell off a while back and dislocated my left knee

yea lol
i get moaned at loads cause ive chopped em

£1400 for a bike? my VTR cost that much lol and is that BMX even that good? looks quite simple.

its all about strenght mate
simple means less to brake and i have a spattering of titanium parts ect on there aswell as stuff like the wheel

the rear hub alone was over 100 quid

wouldnt you have rather spent it on your saxo? is it a fast bike?

i spend a shitload on the saxo anyway lol

its not about speed
its for doing stuff like this

i wish ide spent mine on a saxo :( my bars wer £100 rear hub 150 ( hope pro 2! )

christ, £1400, mycar was £700 lol

nice bike though, i have front and back discs on mine :oops:

mountain bike ftw

You pay for quality. I remember went i went from a freewheel to a Profile hub, the difference was amazing! My backwheel alone stood me at about £250. All together stood me at about £1400-£1500.

As for rather spending it on car... i think you could possibly enjoy the bike more tbf. Whenever you pull off a big move, the feeling you get is awesome.

yea chip that rush is mint

rminds me im dunna find the old vid of me riding to put up lol
got the epic huck i was trying on it lol

old ass vidio where i get ruined at the start lol
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yviA_G...e=channel_page

mostly footage of my mate thorpey lol

my bike, that i sold as parts, also cost more than my car lol



also got a rocky mountian Race XC bike, which is extreamly light, and a giant road bike and a TT bike and a dawes hybrid lol!

got a few then

people never grasp how much they cost lol

true, but then £1250ish on a mtb is still classed as entry level/intermediate standard!

Same with anything, if your serious n get into it it costs shit loads!

yea I know a guy who competes in downhill events
his bike cost about 3k iirc
but it's frigging mad lol

is a very nice bike lad, clearly better than cars...

when i bought all my fly about 4 years ago, it totaled something daft like £1570, mostly because alot of the parts came from america, all ti axles, both wheels and the cranks, pedals were £75ish :/ then my fly brake was £65, dont even have it on the bike lol

looks smart man
my last bike was ti everything (even had the rnc ti sproket n stuff)
tbh after ruining a few ti parts I don't choose them as extras tbh
I ride hard and they just couldn't take it lol

my cranks are RNC, they have never failed in about 4 years now :) i dont run pegs, so my axles can take it :P last time i had pegs on was about 2 years ago, even for street i like it without, finding mad verticle wallrides, then go into whitby park and see who can do the tree ride and get highest.
Quite hard trying to go straight up a tree :P

shiit! you payed 150 quid for a pro 2! mines was like 120 brand new(that was the single speed one which IIRC is more expensive.

sweeet BMX though. havnt been out on mine in ageeeeessssss used to go and ride at the properbikeco every other day in the summer haha. good times

tree rides are ace
we've got a few in the park in out town centre it's well funny to see peoples faces when were sessioning em

and I can rock wallrides with my pegs
just have to lean more haha!!

its all good alex shame it requires leg power and cant stick a garrett on the side.

get better soon tho!

lawn mower engine gav!!

was about 2 year ago muhaha :P anodized blue 9 speed 12mm axle i think they sell for about under £100 now! got halo spinn drs on my SAS combats got Diatech crappy lol, and my tornados diatehc front spin dr rear, s types got hoep pro twos all round i blue looking for a set of 26" s types in bright orange, or maybe some spanks in lime green :P

spanks im lime greeen are sexy. shame theyre heavy as fuckkkkkkk. 20inch ftw haha

the price puts me off lol its like 80 sumit quid just for the rims :P
