Mods: The frame's dropouts are cut so I can run my wheel further up. I cut my bars to about 26 1/2" from 28". I cut my axles down. The cranks have Primo Powerbite bearings because the original ones blew up. I took most of the spacers out of the freecoaster for more slack, but left one bearing race and a washer in, it's perfect now, the washer rattles a bit but, I also replaced the stock cone nuts with odyssey cones.. I'll take it. The tires are slick from skids, not really, but they are smooth.
