My other bike is a Diamond Back V Link full suspension mountain bike. This is pretty much stock except for alloy bar ends and Shimano clipless pedals.
My first BMX was a Mongoose bought as a kit which included the frame, forks, bars and I added the rest. Just your basic Araya allow wheels plus a set of Tuff Wheels. I thought it was the sweetest ride when I first go it for Christmas. Following that and getting a bit more serious about racing and hence needed something a bit lighter, I had the first Hutch Pro Racer in the state. Everything metal was chrome or silver and all the other parts were black. I cracked the first frame on the bottom backet and fortunately it was replaced free of charge. The disappointing thing is I can't remember selling it and having seen the prices these bikes are commanding now, I wish I had kept it.
For general street riding I had a polished SE Racing PK Ripper. Once again everything metal was chrome or silver and everything else was blue. Again, can't remember selling this either.
