We need more guys that build stuff and stunt! Speaking of that, I feel the same way about building parts for my bike so I can ride better. I started out with a mostly stock bike and I've been adding more parts as my skills advance so I can start doing new stuff. It's all so much fun! And thanks for your comments about my frame! I think I'm about to start up on number two... I need to make a subframe first though. I'm also toying around with some Ideas about doing a better frame and subframe interface for my bike since it's an 06. So much to do, so little time!

Thanks man your comments are really appreciated.
This design makes life easy for me as I am always swapping sprockets for road gearing.
It has taken me years of mistakes to get her the way I want her (the whole bike ) sharing different ideas being prepared to listen to and try friends ideas ( thank you ches ) and there always something in your mind you know you could do to to change to advance your learning curve or make it safer/stronger bike to ride.
The first hand brakes we had here in the UK scene were very poor and did nothing lol apart from endanger people lol

And that connection you have from working on / understanding your own bike is a must I reckon.
