This bike makes me smile, I have wanted it since I learned to ride a bike, as it hung shining and twinkling on the wall of a family friend's house. It has more history than any of my other bikes, and I will never sell it. It became mine a short while ago, and is as I received it other than the tires (the tioga comp 2's that came with it were shot), as all I did was clean it up and re-grease and adjust the bearings. It is amazingly light (20 lbs), and truly a fast machine, the pinnacle of looptail BMX race bikes.
One of my friends who is more talented than I am made a sweet video for this bike! If you care to watch it, here is the link: http://vimeo.com/91339739
