Horrible things......you can put any crank you want in one but stem wise, you'll have to use a 1 1/8th stem rather than an old school one.

But for the money, I'd get something better

Seriously bud, Rob's right - they were terrible $:-\$ Not even 100% chromo.

If you want to hang it on the wall, spend about £1,500 on a Gen1 and it'll have cost you so much you won't dare ride it

If you want to ride a double top tube bike, join Ed209 and get a Supercross Extension (see it in bike of the month) or if you can't be arsed to build one yourself, just buy Steve Cost's Suburasa DTT and be done with it

Costs's bike for sale (a complete and utter fookin bargain)

Get a gen 1 copy , just been looking at mine in da workshop . Nice looking piece of kit . I personally ride a Haro Zippo ,which is a twin top tube mid school tank but with a bit of love / brutalaty can be riden ok . Retro feel with a nice low price tag . I have a spare complete and a spare spare frame and forks .
