Yea, I paint the frame and underbody regularly. I just grab a can of cheep black paint, crawl under, and go to town. I think it adds that "new car" apperance.

Yea, the yellow backups drove me nuts every time I looked at the back and were a real embarassment (nobody else probably even noticed, lol) so I coughed up $100 for new ones at the dealership. :pat:

Corection, a ultraterraine tire, lol. That is the largest bicycle tire on the market (3" wide) and is sold for down hill racing bikes. Makes for a smooth yet supportive ride at 15 psi.

Whoa, never heard of such a thing...I thought you were kidding until I looked closer!

Truck looks nice...(like I said in another thread).

Like you, I need meatier tires...but looks great overall.

Nice rig - when I went to collged my parents droped me off at the dorm with my beach cruiser. "Sorry son no car, you can ride a bike to class."

I could only ask girls out that had cars. Had to bumb rides all the time.

No brake on mine. I know a guy who does. You only need a brake if you are go down serious mountains. It is way fun to ride on single track.
