So a new thread since she's about done. Waiting for some bars which are due in today, and that's about it. Big thanks to Dave Wood (W00dy) for the amazing wheelset he built me and all the great part hookups. :cheers:

Also, buy everything from Ride-This, what a great shop.

Yeah bro real nice build... Post a pic when your done.. I was just about to order a Vagrant but decided to keep my Preston for AM stuff. I was trying to find that fork for my Preston but ended up getting a new 08 Zoke 55 R on ebay for $300 bucks new.. Good luck with it..

Finished it up this weekend. Went riding at the local BMX track and Platty in the snow and mud on Sunday. The bike is unreal, feels fantastic, super controllable, lightweight, and jumps great once you drop the fork down. Turned out exactly how I wanted it to, all it needs now is a chain guide.

Thanks man. Do it, you won't be dissapointed. It's awesome. Great FR geometry, yet awesome for jumping. It's lightweight too, I haven't put it on the scale yet, but I'm betting it's around 32lbs.

You should consider some white rims. It allready looks sweet, but it will look even better.

I just weighed the complete bike and it came in at 32lbs. Not bad at all for a freeride build!
