Another pic. I ride it daily. I even do mild downhilling with it in the Bay Area. The bushings are solid nothing jiggles or wiggles and best of all there aren't any creaking noises. I don't know if the previous owner never ever ride it but I bought it from a local bike shop for $185 with shitty parts on it. I stripped a 2013 GT avalanche 3.0 for everything and installed it on this bike. Call me a fool but I enjoy this bike way, WAY more!

Looks nice. Love the white on black.

This was taken by a buddy earlier today. Local bmx jumps

Thank you! I thought I'd for sure get scorned for having it painted than trying to polish the aluminum out. I thought the white would make it pop more

You should start a thread for this bike in the "Readers MTB's" section of the forum, that way you (and everyone else) can keep track of its progress.

What year is it from?

 

[Dean510]

I'm pretty sure 97? I might be wrong? 96?

looks awesome and at gives a message to all those that have sts's hidden away and not ridden in case they break.
good work there fella all you need to do is figure out how to rotate a picture and your away.
