yeah, i get that, maybe just the cables then, should the chain be loose? its pretty annoying, everytime the bike hits the ground, it rattles like crazy. How could decrease weight, for not too much money?

you need to tian the chain. gust dont do it to tite. You could take off the refliters, chain gard and other things it could go with out.

Status: offline 		yeah, ill just cut some of the seat post off, and i took off the reflectors already. To tighten the chain, i have to loosen the wheel nuts right? I dont have anything to do that with, so i have to wait until i ask my uncle to, and then i could take off the stand too, since the bike owner didnt do it for me.

which one do you want? i think this one would be cool if you got it painted, and its only 3 pounds!!!! Add the rest of the titanium parts, and this thing would weight like 15 pounds, lol


I want the Hoffman Loyalty or Sunday Dreamsicle.

You need to cut them. I like the feel of shorter bars but if you are satisfied than so be it.

Status: offline 		well i already bought a Redline complete, which im totally satisfied with, but i think the bars are a bit long, beccause its super hard to spin em aroudn without hitting your area, which is pretty dangerous, dont ya think? How much do you cut them?

Damn, you're really good nbk, and i like the skatepark, theres not much room in New York, for a spacious one like that.
