The way that bottom bracket shell is machined is badass.

[@skylarsoper241]

Fav road fools is all of em 😅super rad vid series

[@adamtreadwellnwexposurebmx1480]

Was stoked when Eric got one from us at Beckwiths and built it up from scratch! That frame was absofuckinlutly amazing!

[@CodyCobraSB]

"The Little Devil" video with Van shredding was a go to video in those days

[@danielsparano7602]

I like many many other midschool guys, we wanted this frame sooooooo badly. Cool build for sure.

[@ripe_lyfe]

Hey man, you need to get some bike stickers on that thing!!!!!!

[@VargIsDeath]

I had an fsa pig headset on mine! Loved that frame

[@mikehagen3785]

Still have my black Joey Garcia complete with Antix wheelset, Pitchfork Specials, Mazie neck and fsa pig. PR1MO Hemroid, I used to launch that thing and hop it really high, I don't know how because when I pull it out on occasion and try anything, I can't believe I even pedaled it with a 45 16.. Tank!! 15 inch slammed rear with 18 inch tt... I loved that bike at the time (98-04) So awesome you have that frame! Historic piece, I have quite a few of the Props library, and Van was definitely a favorite of mine.

New shop looks lit, too bad Evan can’t live in this shop too

[@kylec700]

My favorite Van Homan moment was me drunk at nora cup after party taking a piss next to van and asking him what he knew about xs. Good times!!!

[@skylarsoper241]

[@onionyedi4249]

[@SnakebiteBMX]

[@nightwolf7317]

Road fools 10 was the best for me and I have Road Fool 1-11 on vhs and the others on DVD and I also broke 3 FBM bars 😀

[@skylarsoper241]

I love that hemroid seat bro 😎

[@SnakebiteBMX]

Its a classic.

[@skylarsoper241]

Oh I think the headset is an Aheadset tank , super strong

[@SnakebiteBMX]

Y ai just couldn't remember which model it was! They were a game changer!

[@skylarsoper241]

@@SnakebiteBMX ya there awesome strong I just remember cause I recently had to buy a couple of em from the bmx museum

[@klegraefe]

Awesome tribute bike!!! But I hate to say it, but that’s not the frame that tailwhipped the infamous kona gap 😬 that frame is in my best friends basement and I see it almost every day. He got it from Dave from pedal driven bicycles also former bike welder from FBM.

[@SnakebiteBMX]

Ya that came up after we started this. I have asked around on it and honestly that made it a lil more confusing. Ha! Old BMX dudes and there memories! I do know this was Van's and it was one of his prototypes due tho the cable placement of the cable guides. Van would grind the upper guide off since the placement of it interfered with his lower gyro cable sitting correctly. But I hear conflicting stories about which actual frame it was.lol. Still all in all both you and I get to look at 2 frames that put down a lot of BMX history!

[@k-art-L]

Awesome!! Yesterday just had a 91 mongoose solution pro!! Another project to the collection!!

[@SnakebiteBMX]

Oh man I've been wanting one of those! Send a pic to my insta! Would love to see it! Good score!

[@mikehagen3785]

Those were damn nice frames

[@k-art-L]

@@SnakebiteBMX sure I will do it tomorrow, morning!! And you're took me 3 years to get a good one and for a good price!!! Actually I got the whole bike, with few good parts and some others really beaten up, but the frame is what really matters!!!! 👌 is 🔥

[@k-art-L]

@@mikehagen3785 yes sir!!! They are so sexy!!!! hard to find and get them!! I will try to up load some pictures on my Insta tomorrow! Actually I built a project with a 94 mongoose expert pro!! But is not the same as the 91 solution pro!!

[@derrickenbuenosaires]

I wish i can get me a pair of bars like those or milk bars. I don't know how people can hop with such high bars. I need to pull op on them things to get maximum height, I feel like with high rise you can only go so far. As for the frame i ride a barcode. Decked with current gen parts.

[@ripe_lyfe]

Why is the bottom bracket spacer not black?!?

[@stacybuchkowsky6376]

[@charlesadkins3335]

Would it be a mid school bmx bike if you didn’t need a hammer

[@jonasang9676]

Road Fools 14. Ian Schwartz made me switch from MTB to BMX.

[@mikecunningham1717]

[@SnakebiteBMX]
