Well, it begins!
I guess you can say that I had a brainstorm a few weeks ago. I was browsing through Mickey Dunlap's thread with all of the pictures, and I saw his 84 bike from when he raced for powroll. I then saw the flat track/mx bike pictures from years past. Like everyone else, I thought "hey thats pretty cool!". I began to think about replicating the bike and it has become more of a reality ever since. Here is what I'm planning, along with where/what member or company they will be sourced from.
Trust me, this puts quite the stress on a 16-year-old-with-a-summer-job's wallet. I hope that you guys appreciate all of the time, effort, and capital that I'm going through here. I certainly do!
Don't expect this to be like a 1 month build. Honestly I expect a summer finish, because the summer job with help bring in some funds!
