been sorting out my 26" dmr trailstar on & off for about a year. took off the v brakes, rid of the the stem/ bar set up, no more gears, and no more suspension forks.

wanted it like a large bmx /cruiser type bike and this is the result. some new parts i got from radbmx shop which is   :4_17_5: for great service.

castillo bars i had for years and the stem too. sprayed up most myself, crank arms and stem powdered by sbd  :4_17_5:

wheels off ebay and other bits and bobs , disc brakes i got cheap locally. 32/ 16 at mo so a bit like a hamster in a wheel when riding- may have to up/or decrease the number of teeth on rear cog so it is more similar to 44/16 feel gearing. (ideas anyone -up or down with rear cog ratio?)





loving the look of it at the mo.. :daumenhoch:

daz bmx it!

I ride 30-14 on my 26" jumpy, its perfect (55.71" gearing)

If you chuck a 15 on the back with a 32 up front (55.46") you wont be far off 44-16 on a 20" wheel bmx (55" gearing)  :daumenhoch:

Nice bike dude :4_17_5:
