Looks the dugs baws and even better on the flesh will this be a drum bike?

Cheers buddy, indeed it'll be going to Drum. Need to give it a good testing and reckon its ideal.

I may have to start sizing the handhold position in relation to the front axle.

ive been doing this for years . i find it more important than toptube length which is still more important than seattube

all the bmx and mtbs i have share a axle to bar measurement

Aye I was talking to gazz about it before. I've gave up on seat tube, I have everything from a 14" to 21" seat tube. I did start sizing all my toptubes and stem was fitted found a size where I was happy and adjusted to suit as I approach 700mm things get a bit wavvy and back ache creeps in harder to get airbourne too. 640-670 is the sweet spot with the FAT coming in at 660. The axle/grip size will be interesting

you might be surprised at how much variation there is between all your bikes

toptube length in bmx is very important ( well , from the mid 90s it has been )

the only bike i can ride under 20.5" is my dirtbike at 20.25" . i own that purely because i couldnt afford it in 94 . even 20.5" is a tad short . 20.75" is ok if i angle the bars back slightly 21" is too long unless i wanted to ride very quickly on a track , but i could just angle the bars forwards slightly with a 20.75" . i have one frame thats 20.6" and you can genuinely feel that little extra over a more common 20.5" . then theres chainstay length . over 14.2" and i cant hop it . under 13.6 and i struggle to keep the front wheel on the ground . there was a point where i was riding often enough that i could feel a frame with a difference in head angle of .5 of a degree

Theres the difference mid 80's BMX for me and what kind of tomfoolery is this, decimal inches

Possible new front end for the Wicked

Ti bar flex stem and tange/ritchey forks. Any opinions?

Think your right, was getting the urge to go totally retro but after looking at the original pics I reckon I'll stay put just now
