I have never ever seen anyone actually build up one of the worst bikes ever sold in the USA in this century

[@stewart4711]

I have to ride the sit and beg bmx bars my spine is cooked left leg numb

[@mark9328]

Such a cool build for a dumped bike. Love the Black Ops handle bars!

[@Locojoe]

Thanks! Yes cool handlebars yet they never seem to stay on any one build.

[@ianski65]

I’d keep it for fetching the Statins and Aspirins mate, really enjoyed the Vid. Stay radical Joe 😎

[@Locojoe]

lol Thanks Ian.

[@chrisandnicolepurcell683]

that's a cool looking bike with the top sweeping down twards the really it really locks like a 26 bmx bike

[@Locojoe]

Yes that was my thought also. Thanks.

[@constructdestruct360]

What "category" do you upload videos to? KZbin doesn't seem to have one that really fits bikes.

[@Locojoe]

Took me a minute to find it. You're right nothing really fits. I have mine set to "People and Blogs".

[@MLRomo]

Cool build! I like the clean look of the single speed. What is the gear radio on it? BMX is usually around 2 to 1. Just curious what this one is. Thnx

[@Locojoe]

Thanks Mario. The rear cog is 20t and the front 38t whatever that equates to. It’s ok for goofing around on trails and sidewalks but if I get out on the street and try to go at a decent pace to get somewhere I spin out pretty quickly.

[@MLRomo]

@@Locojoe ah! A 17 tooth cog would be closer to 2 to 1 and be a decent balance for roads and some light terrain.

[@Locojoe]

@@MLRomo Thanks. If I keep it around I might change it out.

[@rainbowhiker]

Fun--eh?

[@tonythetourist2025]

Always like those handlebars!😊

[@Locojoe]

Yes me too but IDK why they never stay on any of my builds for any length of time. I end up swapping them out or just tearing the bike down. Thanks for watching.

[@rexdouglas4874]

Rims looks like they are off a Dyno Cruiser.

[@Locojoe]

Possibly. Can’t recall when or where I got them.

[@davidvozmediano3584]

cool build. looks like it´s super fun to ride.

[@Locojoe]

Thanks David.

[@rogerhart612]

Still a cool build. Fun stuff. 👏👏

[@Locojoe]

Thanks Roger.

[@gloriahenderlong8900]

Love the paint, not the seat, ouch! LOL

[@Locojoe]

Yeah I've already changed out the seat to something with padding lol. Thanks.

[@EriebyCycle]

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I love that you built it up , just to turn around and recycle it. And it came out looking cool! Most excellent!

[@Locojoe]

Thanks Josh. We'll see if I can follow through and get rid of it. I have a hard time letting any bike go. Maybe even just save the frame to hack up into something else later.

[@pokey764ids]

It was nice to be blessed with a new build video Randy! It's actually pretty cool build! I'm surprised you're going to break it down but I know how it is. Hope all is well.. We're getting the snow that you had in Nashville starting tonight! Not looking forward to that. LOL

[@Locojoe]

Yeah I may end up keeping it around a little longer. Thanks Willie. Stay safe out there.

[@ratoneJR]

who won the change contest?

[@Locojoe]

User named Tinkerman.45. I made a community post about it here... kzbin.info/door/Ne6UitzvH9emxpGQuGMfnwcommunity?lc=UgyCYJoifZBoWMtfbyJ4AaABAg&lb=UgkxQmUiJJFNAUNm2h9KIV_tgDT6KPqZMfom Thanks.

[@ratoneJR]

@@Locojoe That link actually leads me to a blank page. How much was in the bag? Just wondering how close I was.

[@Locojoe]

$21 even in the bag. The winner guessed $20.@@ratoneJR

[@ratoneJR]

@@Locojoe Good for him. I was only off by $11. lol. BTW... keep up the good work, my friend.

[@Locojoe]

@@ratoneJR I hope you're right next year lol. Thanks!

[@FrankLadd]

Seems like a keeper. I really like the look and that low gearing would work great for me. Hope you enjoy it while you can.

[@Locojoe]

Yeah I'll probably keep it at least a little longer than I initially planned. Thanks Frank.
