So yeah, as I'm going to University I came close to buying a car but after seeing the campus and realising everything is pretty much within 500 or so meters, I decided to get a bike. I'm living in halls, and I'm on the 6th floor so a 24" or 26" bike seemed pretty awkward, so I decided to go BMX... I had an old (1980s) diamondback frame in my shed from when I was a kid that my brother gave to me from when he was a kid, so I figured I'd spend a while cleaning it up and making it look a bit funky retro... Here's the results...

As it's an old bike, I tried to grab the sizes of the seat tube/clamp etc from the intertubes, however I got the wrong year and bought a 22.5mm tube with according clamp... This frame has a slightly larger tube size (I believe 25.4mm) so as you can tell, there's no seat on there... But this is the finished product and it's pretty fun to ride... I'd not been on two wheels in years, so I was wobbly as hell as first but I'm getting the hang of it again.. http://dl.krslynx.com/Temp/bicycleet/IMG_0075.JPG http://dl.krslynx.com/Temp/bicycleet/IMG_0076.JPG http://dl.krslynx.com/Temp/bicycleet/IMG_0077.JPG Fun Stuffs, -L
