now for some bikes that I have owned, and taken apart and used parts
to make my current builds.
this is the militant lt.
was a crazy riding frame with the 75.3 head tube angle
and the frame being soo small.
I was inches away from learning smith decades on this bike,
but I diddnt realley like the way it rode for me so much so I took it apart
and built something else.
this was my favorite way to setup my metro.
loved this setup. still have 90% of the parts, and need to get it back together again
cause it was a fun bike to ride. not super stoked on 74 flat head tube angle
would love this frame with 74.5. maby I can find some forks with short legs or something.
suelo v1
was alexes bike from miami. - seat was setup way too high, and 2.1 size tires are poo poo.
did not enjoy this setup as much as my other 2 simples
here is my parris 1
this setup totaly taught me alot of tricks. it was stupid light weight, and I diddnt at the time realize how flexible the frame was, made it hard to realley dial in on spinning rear tire tricks as the back end would flex side to side - wich basicly was steering the rear tire like how forks steer the front tire. crazy.
but I still learned a ton on this setup, and loved it.
fly simple - amazing frame. setup perfect. loved this setup
and also did well with it, but this bike was kinda early on.
I say that like Ive been riding for years now, but haha you know.
any how - that setup felt amazing.
same sickchild metro frame as above, this was its first setup. also a dope gathering of equipment here.
and same parris 1 as above with its first grouping of parts.
this was a kgb conectasomething.
this frame was the worst for me. one of my absolute worst riding bikes ive ever setup.
hated it. not even shure why. it just rode like crap for me.
my st martin down town. man I miss you.
in pic is my crappy car and a fly simple that was also a sweet riding setup
I kick my self in the ass for selling this st martin down town frame.
it was realley sweet. taught me rolling whiplashes. me being a dummy sold it off super cheap.
here is johnu773's old suelo simple v1
and gods green grass old simple v1
both of those simple v1's were given to my friends to ride flatland.
and they still use them to this day.
ahhh - my first good flatland bikes.
red one = turd muffin mid school eastern seaker frame rode horrible. sucked the worst of all my bikes - there is a st martin darwin in there I got off of paved paradise.
a 03 wtp pony in there - wich was a super good frame. I miss that one too.
and my glorious blue aries ashura.
when I got this bike, it was more preacious to me than gold.
it had diamonds on it, and when I saw it, it was just pure amazingness to my eyes.
in reality tho - it was a tank. and weighed in 39 pounds. and was such a beast to ride.
but it was realley a great learning tool for me
