I still have a Redline shoehorned in the garage somewhere. I havent ridden in 2-3 years but I'm thinkin about building up a new street machine cuz I live 10 minutes from school now and some ledges and rails are looking pretty shred-able. Whats the hot brand now for solid street bikes?

lol, u mean the one u get for free from danscomp...

and cheesy? u know u liked it too

i actually like the mirra pro. its expensive but all the parts are top of the line so theres really not to much you can upgrade.

but other than that the ace of spades and jane from eastern are a pretty good deal for under 450.

ha yeah i got it from danscomp, gotta love the hhhwheelie king!

yeah jane is a descent frame except the rear end(it is more of a trails frame i think) is too long and i cant manuel for shit, i grinded it out too...

pretty much, there really no trails other than mountain bike trails. parks there really only two around here that are close. SkateParkOfTampa(which only lets bikes in one day aweek) and Central which is like a hour and a half hour drive. theres actually some nice street spots, downtown is crazy and all the universities always have several things to ride

i mainly ride flat cuz im all about the oldschool though, i throw in some street in now and then but all that other bs doesnt make me want to 'try' to ride other stuff too much

I'm set up for street mostly. Although I haven't ridden since I turned 16 lol.

I have:
A shitty haro frame
WTP crank
blackjack sprocket
triple wall rims
primo wall tires
oddysey brakes
fat street chain (I still managed to break it sprocket grinding)
random bars I got from a buddy
nice pedals that put a lot of holes in my shins
And other things I can't remember

I dotn ride anymore, i used to be hardcore though:
STA trls 250 oxr platinum frame
FBM bars
Odyssey tripple hazard wheels
s&m pitchforks

I rode street and park. I was acutally partially sponsored by Planet Bike 4 years ago and competed in small competitions. One day i bent both my rims, and never replaced them, which is hwo my biking career ended. I met Butcher Kowalski in a skatepark in toms river a couple years ago and rode all day with him.
