  5. I'd like everyone to know, I let Dale cut my childhood bike into pieces
    so he could make this.

    I haven't ridden in it over 2 years, but now it's in pieces, I miss it.
    haha.

    In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
    practice, there is.

    I'm not a hardcore rider yet only because I need a trials uni and my
    learner is broke
    working on level 4 and I just started the level system. I also don't
    even like the level system

  14. if the bike was originaly heat treated, then re-welding it will make it
    weak
    keep an eye out on the welds and look for fractures.
    till then, have fun.

  17. looks much better than my homemade giraffe, mine's frame isn't strait so
    you are always leady kind backwards, and the seat makes me bleed, I
    don't ride it much.
