Mr Nice Guy

RR's mini racers with micro bottom brackets (20mm bearings) and integrated seat post
This color (chameleon green) is more pale gold-green in real life. I'll try to take pics in better light sometime

AM frames

Travis' slack AM designed around long travel forks:
based on fork sagged at 105mm:
68 HA
72 SA
-28mm BB height
16.1" CS
31.6mm seatpost


 I'll need a dropper post to make this the trail bike that I always wanted. Same exact geometry as the frame above, but with a "special" bottom bracket

I needed a 20"

So I built this extra long 22.2"tt Machine. My other BMX (the 22" wheeled bike) is fun but no-one makes 48 spoke wheels for those yet. 

 That cassette cap really didn't like being welded on. It leached oil, spat and made blue flames despite having been cleaned thoroughly. If I weld on random bike parts from the toolbox again I'll be sure to hit them with a torch first.
