Clinging onto what is left of my youth

[fastrider gus]

Im ticking off another bike that I've always dreamed of since I was a shovel slinging grom.

Custom trailboss, X-lanky geometry based on a transition PBJ but a little slacker head angle and lower BB.

Froffing to throw a leg over this one..

I see no reason for running a brake mount on this thing. I want the bike to be as neat as possible. There aren't too many options for a new I.S. mount brake, possibly an old Hope mini or even M4 but they are tricky to find NOS.
I found this M965 calliper on ebay which should do the job nicely, paired it with a new M9100 lever, goodridge hose and a Trickstuff rotor. Clean as a bloody whistle..

Thats a nice delivery...
I ran classics on my jump bike 18 years ago, they have always been a favorite of mine. These are a little nicer with all Ti upgrades in the axle + cassette body.
Elite cranks are an outrageously nice bit of kit.

Why the 36t chainring? Most folks who run bmx cranks on thier dj bikes have 28 or 25t...
My dj is set up with 28/12

Edit, is that 38t :0

Yep 38t. The micro-drive look never really appealed to me, I think the smallest I ran back in the day was 30t.
I don't like street/park riding. Im going for a race/jump hybrid inspired build so the bigger ring is key. 38 is the biggest I can run on the Curtis with that cut out on the chainstay and I think the 38 looks a bit better than the 36, the holes start to get too small.

Turns out he stopped doing the classic clear/polished finish about a year ago, it was a tough decision between that and the candy red when I first put my name down for a frame so I'm still bloody stoked with the red.
