97 Sunn Bmix

I've made some more changes to my Bmix, and I think its pretty much finished now - famous last words! I've changed the Pauls brakes for Avid Tri-Aligns with Ultimate levers, because Vs on a frame designed for cantis just wasn't cool. I've also changed the chainring and freewheel, fitted some lovely Crupi BMX pedals, and swapped the pretty average X138 rims for D521s, laced with DT Competition spokes. I also went a bit crazy with titanium bolts, mainly because I thought it looked cool! Just waiting for some crank axle bolts from Profile - apparently titanium is hard to get hold of in the US if you aren't a major buyer. I'm tempted to change the tyres for something better suited for tarmac, or maybe a bit more BMXey, but I'm limited to around 1.95" width for tyre clearance / brake set up reasons. Any suggestions welcome. Anyway, spec and pics:

That is super cool. I remember us selling a couple of those in my first bike shop job in the mid nineties. Awesome
