    It all started about 3 weeks ago w/ new pedals on my old P.1... that lead to new wheels, and that lead to a new fork, which lead me to new cranks which left me no other option but to jump off the deep-end and do a totally custom build from the ground up. 3 weeks later here is my new ride. I just set up the drive train and it's ready to roll. Riding pics to follow...

    ^^ What time you heading up to Kenter? I have yet to bring my new Versus (Blitz) up there. They make some sick bikes IMO.

    The bike is sweet - that's a given. But what I also like is the urban photography. :clap:

    That looks sick man! Loving the red and the sloping top tube. I really like the versus stuff! I just got a DJ myself, in RED too. couldn't pass up the deal for the complete on Backcountry, i made a couple changes tho. I am just getting into DJ (i am a 30something dad going on 18 ), lemme know if you want to hit any thing up. Here some pics of mine from yesterday:

    first ride w/ the new bike!

    I went dirt jumping today w/ the new ride and was blown away with this bike. It's so responsive and it loves to POP off the lips.

    Nice Bill!!

    That shot came out better than expected. It looked good on the camera LCD...but wow!

    Edit: The only thing is the colors are always washed out at Kenter. Need to wear some louder colors :)
