Union Street Working Class Hero

[Bryan67]

Finally got it done (For now). The closest thing to a bike like this that I`ve owned was either my Boss Hogg 26 BMX or the Gack Trail Mod.
I haven`t really ridden it much but like it so far. I`ve ridden only BMX since I was about 12 (I`m 42 now) so the build reflects it. And don`t give me crap for the seat post height as I like to sit down occasionally and I`m 6'2" tall.

looks rad. are those 3" rise bars?

[Bryan67]

Yes they are.

[swerve76]

I like it. Where did you get the fork from?

[Bryan67]

Ordered it from Chain Reaction. Its ok but weighs 3.75 pounds.

[swerve76]

I was looking at that fork or one of the identiti rigids, but nobody has them in stock.

s&ms doing a rigid 26?

nice nice bike.

pics of the hogg?

[cornfed]

Nice! I like it alot. The A2C on that fork looks pretty tall judging by the space between the crown and tire.

I have heard the rumors about an S&M fork too. Do you know anything more about it?

[Bryan67]

I talked to them about a custom fork before I bought the NS and they told me they had one in the works and it should be out this summer. I`m thinking they might release it under they`re name or maybe under Black Market but don`t know any more other than they should really nice.

damn, ill have to pick up the s&m fork when it comes out, see how i like rigid 26 on my jumps. used to ride em bmx but those days have been long gone

[cmc]

this is one of the coolest complete 26bmx's i have seen.

i guess the tire to fork gap is to make up for the lack of a suspension fork.... otherwise you could just run a 26" bmx fork like on this:

Sweet ride. I like that color.

[Bryan67]

Yeah, the fork is a little too tall. And it has a lot of rake but using a regular 26 BMX fork would be way too short.

What you really need for that rig is a Comp 3 up front :)

Great build - good to see another older guy rocking a USB. The USB's are just like BMX cruisers but with a little more comfort (esp if you run a sussy fork) and a little quicker handling. I remember the Boss Hogg's and Gack's as well (had one of each). Both were cool bikes.

Look forward to hearing or seeing more on the S&M fork and would dig some action pics as well.

[Bryan67]

I`ve only seen two other WCH`s and I know there are more out there since mine is number seven. Lets see them. And I`ll get some action photos just as soon as it sees some real action...

[BikeSATORI]

clean and mean. I like that build. Looks so fun for a rigid 26'er!

[Savage_Animal]

Saw it on pinkbike, looks nice.

[Stoked]

looks sweet. i'd love to try that bike out.

[rpet]

what's the working class hucker frame weight?

[Bryan67]

I think its 5.4 pounds. Haven`t weighed the complete bike yet.

[Sean]

Hey Bryan,

Nice build.

Most of the WCH frames were sent out of the country.

Hope you are enjoying it...

Thanks,
Sean
