Not really a build, more like a quick story. Goes something like this… So first I was like: ![https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TWPvvDJKCJA/TlQ4MY8hQ1I/AAAAAAAABPI/0yhC_kAtFJ8/s640/2011-08-23%25252019.29.51.jpg](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TWPvvDJKCJA/TlQ4MY8hQ1I/AAAAAAAABPI/0yhC_kAtFJ8/s640/2011-08-23%25252019.29.51.jpg) Then I tore my shit apart, powdercoated, re-ball-bearing’d and re-laced my beat to shit dirt wheels like so: ![https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_ifL8SWCnn8/TlQ6F1zaBYI/AAAAAAAABPM/D_GBBWcCi2Y/s640/2011-08-23%25252019.38.26.jpg](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_ifL8SWCnn8/TlQ6F1zaBYI/AAAAAAAABPM/D_GBBWcCi2Y/s640/2011-08-23%25252019.38.26.jpg) ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-H7OJG74nkoM/TlQ6SAgbICI/AAAAAAAABPQ/e6PGlqpSC6Q/s640/2011-08-23%25252019.39.25.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-H7OJG74nkoM/TlQ6SAgbICI/AAAAAAAABPQ/e6PGlqpSC6Q/s640/2011-08-23%25252019.39.25.jpg) And then I was like: ![https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-T4WbyOhqOCo/TlRCSces9aI/AAAAAAAABPc/kqs-ZcrDEcQ/s640/2011-08-23%25252020.13.29.jpg](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-T4WbyOhqOCo/TlRCSces9aI/AAAAAAAABPc/kqs-ZcrDEcQ/s640/2011-08-23%25252020.13.29.jpg) ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Js94sO0YskY/TlRCHQPCP1I/AAAAAAAABPU/bu0EFdbkgA4/s640/2011-08-23%25252020.11.46.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Js94sO0YskY/TlRCHQPCP1I/AAAAAAAABPU/bu0EFdbkgA4/s640/2011-08-23%25252020.11.46.jpg) And my crazy buddy Krant was like: ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-kuwmilU2cjk/TlRCLHQXUzI/AAAAAAAABPY/XNUXBhcO6UI/s640/2011-08-23%25252020.12.05.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-kuwmilU2cjk/TlRCLHQXUzI/AAAAAAAABPY/XNUXBhcO6UI/s640/2011-08-23%25252020.12.05.jpg) ---

Color is Gunmetal Glimmer, low gloss with just a bit of a metalic flake in it sorta. Hides water spots and filth vs. a gloss black that would show every single sin. ---

> [@Birdman64](#): > > Looked better as a sm IMO Honestly if I was worried what it looked like, I’d sound like Ubengineering who just worries endlessly about what the bike looks like than how it rides. This is a bike that I’ve pitched and has flipped end over end down the track, and I’ve picked it up, started it and finished a session. My rear Pilot race is smoked, and I wanted to take on some trails and falling on wet grass isn’t _that_ awesome, so with the options available to me, I figured I’d mix it up and cover some ground off road. THIS is what these bikes are for. ![https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wzFmhwawPcU/Sjemquf0XRI/AAAAAAAAAOU/YX0REbUHZP8/s512/HPIM1711.JPG](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/1/c/1c2d6ff36d4588f62707d58dc3d4aefc960cd709.jpeg) And with numbers like this… I have to fight the bitches off. ![https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vPQsneP-NWo/TeEuGCwFC7I/AAAAAAAABHc/qhoOe4iswbo/s512/2011-05-28%25252013.13.54.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/1/e/1e728aef11ba5e52534ea911b3bc784665f6741c.jpeg) ---
