Hi,
Another newbie in your midst, although I have been lurkng in the shadows for a little while. Like most newbies I'm building my first bike (RL20 Prostyler) - I missed out on 'deeman's' a few weeks back on eBay during a bidding battle, after years of hunting for a Christmas Day replica! I tracked him down to this site in the hope he may have been messed around by his buyer and I'd get a second pop. Unfortunately no such luck, but in the process of browsing the forum and encouragement from Damo, as well as Wini - I decided to take on my own build. With the guidance of Damo the eBay frenzy began. I'm 90% there on parts now, but I have cheated on repop Skyway's rather than my original OGK's (minty white took preference, as well as years of mental torture not being part of the Skyway gang!).
My freestyle skills never amounted to much after an epic fail whilst attempting an ET jump. After that it was more a case of the essentials to hop up a curb and jump a stream to evade capture from the older kids...the endo however was a bit of a forte with its low risk and high drama to the uninitiated...
Anyway, bio over - I'm enjoying reading the posts and have already gained a ton of great info to help me with my virgin build.

PS some STR bars would seal the deal...
