nice bike mate!!!

if it's gonna be a rider let me voice some caution:

the layback seatpost. if you are lightweight then you probably wont bend it. but if not they will bend, unless you get a super strong one. however, if it's a real strong one, and you slam down on it (ass pain ouch) then it puts mega stress on the frame where that spindly plate is. laybacks murder old school freestyle frames. straight ones less so

get some newschool tyres on it for riding in skateparks (unless those white ones are!!). they grip so much better. probably because they havent been sitting on a shelf for 20 something years!!!
just some primo v monsters are a safe bet, although there are a lot of choice. get 2 inch ones or bigger.

brake levers. tech 3's look the biz but they are feeble. get some more modern levers (cant go wrong with tech 77's or tech 99's) and the brakes will work so much better. you can actually get a good pull on them (fnarr) without so much flex.

tuffs. now i know some people do like to ride tuffs but if they feel too wobbly for you or if your tricks outgrow them then swap em out for some nice 48 spoke alloys and save the tuffs for show day.

it looks real nice though, and they do make real nice riders with just a few tweaks. a mate of mine rides an fst with newschool bars and wheels and it is sorted. light too.

Thanks for your kind comments peeps.

oberon - not sure yet - just waiting for the rain to stop!!

theRuler - Thanks for your concern. When I said rider I didn't mean I would be thrashing it around the parks like a new school ride. :-) I just wanted sealed bearings so it ran smooth like a new school bike and less maintenance.

Will be careful with the lay back; it has Haro Freestyle tyres on it at the moment which as you say aren't in great nick but I like them. :-)

If I catch the BMX bug again I may even end up with a *gasp* new school bike. :-)
