SUNDAY MODEL C PHASE 1 UPDATE

GOT SOME NEW GRIPS, PEDALS AND A SEAT AND SEAT POST.

[@TheCaptainsCog]

I saw the prototypes of the model-c in like 2007. Its the benefit of living in Cali and knowing people in the industry.

I just bought my first 24inch cruiser and I freaking love it...I can't believe how lightweight it is its the 24in Black ops...I also want to get new pedals,grips and a seat

[@MASHLEY69]

Nice. Yea these bikes are fun. Enjoy brother 😊

[@FloridaTrailrider]

Great bike! I have the 2019 model. Wreaks havoc at the local skate park. Cheers

[@MASHLEY69]

Thanks for the comment! Yea I like it I haven’t taken it to the park yet. I haven’t been to a skatepark in 20 years lol. When I do go, I’ll be that old dude I used to see when I was a kid. 😂

[@FloridaTrailrider]

@@MASHLEY69 I am him and I don’t care. Lol. I just pump around and get small airs. Good enough for me. 💪🏻

@@MASHLEY69 Dude that's me now too..... the old guy carving around at the park. I got the 2022 Model C, murdered out with pegs and I love it in the park. Bowls are super fun. Here in Arvada Co. we have a snake run into a big bowl and I could ride it all day.

@@4stoever sweet man! I never did get to the park with it. I ended up selling the bike because I wasn’t using it much. I am from denver (Thornton Area) I used to love going to the park downtown. And I think there was another one we used to hit up in wheatridge. It was an all metal park and they had a true half pipe. Keep on shreddin!

[@TheCaptainsCog]

Thats so cool your local shop is Empire BMX!

[@MASHLEY69]

Yes. It’s also refreshing that the guys that work there are super cool and seem to have a passion for actually helping out the customers. Some of our other bike shops around here I just hate to go into because I feel like I’m an inconvenience to the staff.

Just picked up a project 24c I can hardly wait to get it to finish product. Me and my son love to cruise Austin!

[@MASHLEY69]

Nice. Yes I always say I’m gonna take my time upgrading and then I get in a rush and want to do everything all at once 😂

[@michaelwells730]

I have the frame stripped to bare metal then order 245$. In parts lol. I have to repaint the forks due to rushing. I’m thinking of just clear coating the frame raw. I like seeing the welds. Now I’m just waiting on grips,peddles,seat,crank,sprocket, and head unit to come in Monday.

[@MASHLEY69]

@@michaelwells730 NIICEE... I had a Forecaster in matte raw. I liked it but I think I am more of a gloss finish guy. ALL my bikes are matte, so it gets boring. I like them to shine real nice when I clean them up :-) good luck on the build . . . you going to record your progress?

[@michaelwells730]

I have pictures but I’ve never recorded a project but maybe I should.

[@MASHLEY69]

@@michaelwells730 I’d watch it. I love watching other people spend money on their builds lol. Lots of other people would too I’m sure.

[@jedijarrod]

Is this a good option for someone who is 5'8 / 150 lbs and wants to be able to cruise, very occasional pump track or dirt track? I know a 26 is better for cruising, but I just feel like it would suck on pump or dirt. Thoughts?

[@MASHLEY69]

I think so I think it’s a comfy medium between the 20” and the 29”. For me as I get older I can’t do the 20s anymore and this is still small enough to throw around a bit.

[@jarvisstewart]

I dump my seat as low as it goes and never use it.

[@weekendrc]

What size is the seat post in diameter?

[@MASHLEY69]

Oh gosh I don’t remember. I no longer have this bike. Maybe 25.4? Can’t say for sure though.

[@weekendrc]

@@MASHLEY69 why did you get rid of it?

[@MASHLEY69]

@@weekendrc I couldn’t really get back into bmx. Just wasn’t for me anymore.

[@smartiboo]

How tall are you?

[@MASHLEY69]

I’m about 5’7”

[@smartiboo]

I'm 5'9 and I'm just wondering how much kink in my knee there would be, sitting down with the pedal/cranks fully extended (I got a 300mm seatpost). @@MASHLEY69
