God bless freecycle and parent who think BMX frames are measured the same way as mountain bike frames ;D  Picked this up today, all it needs is a brake cable. Went to pick it up, raised the saddle, rode it home. I love free things ;D |

Don't know what I'm going to do to it yet.
I was looking for a rough old bike I could chop about, but ended up with something that's in really good condition, it'd be a shame to cut it up.
Think I'll just ride it as is until somethin else comes along

Frames are often kid sized in length, but that helps for flatland if thats ya bag. They are all good, I have longer frames, Ridden em all 19.5-21.5 despite being 6ft 2  Looks like a great find!   |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Might sell my mountain bike to fund the chop.
Can't help thinking the pimp wheels would clook good on a chop though

That's what I thought.
Wonder if I could get some white tyre paint.
Take off the ghey stickers, maybe some chrome handle bars and ditch the stunt pegs.

The black paint it tip top, so I might pester someone for the loan of some pin striping gear to give it some class.
Black paint with pinstriping, pimp rims, white wall tyres, a dash more chrome= sorted

Just enjoy it for now then ! Who makes these for Reebok? Looks quite Mongoosey, though i'd expect it to be no brand type manufacturer, if it is a Mongoose it will be pretty capable, looks to have the right bits even if they are just copies, multispoke heay duty wheels, GYRO, or ORYG whatever! It looks bloody new still too! |

No idea who makes them, doubt it is mongoose cos weighs a ton, weight more than my mountain bike.
It's in practically mint condition, all I had to do was replace the broken brake cable and pump the tyres up, only owes me a tenner.
I love free bikes ;D

My last few BMX's were bloody heave inc a Mongoose frame i found!! cos the propper riders are so hard core, they all seem overbuilt these days, hence the weight. madness! Sold my last KHE cos it was completely overkill for me, regretted it and built another BMX!!! ;D

Tried to find out who makes them, no joy.
They're not even mentioned on the reebok website.
I did find a bike that is supposed to be the same model as mine on the JJB website but the frame is completely different

infact, if you have the budget try get some 20" trials rims on there and stretch defo is an option!
