Now I'm gonna do some "test" rides on it then box it and ship it off to Tejas for my nephew. Next, to build his sister's cruiser.....beach, not bmx.
Lots of updates!
Mr Cory Lippel's frame and fork are at the painters. He's getting a black with gold flake and gold lining at the lugs. Fork will be painted to match. Cory is racing in St. Pete in Feb and we hope the frame to be back in Tampa for a hand delivery during the race.
My nephew's BMX is FINALLY getting built. I wanted to build him and his sister bikes for the last few years. I've finally gotten it all the parts together, so the frame can be fabricated. He wants it blue and gold. So I figure the bars and fork will get a gold powder coat and the frame to get an electric blue.
