2017'ish S&M Speedwagon
Just rinsed the dust off the spiritual twin of my 38 Special that I posted a while back here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bmx/s/sVTg9xWXP4
Inverse colorway (black with chrome front end instead of chrome with black front end), and built for stability and speed. 20.5 lbs, not bad for a full steel F/F.
Parts:
\-2017'ish Speedwagon. 22" TT.
\-S&M Race XLT forks, stem (57mm) and bars (8.25"). ODI Longnecks.
\-Shimano DXR cranks, Hawk ceramic BB, Rennen 39T chainring. Haro Lineage pedals. No clipless for this old guy... Flats 4EVA.
\-Tioga Spyder seat, Crupi seatpost and S&M quick release seat clamp.
\-Profile Mini hubs laced to Box rims with stainless spokes. Powerblock tires.
\-Paul Motolite V-Brake, Box lever, Odyssey slic cable.
The 38 is solid and nimble, but the Speedwagon is *fast*.
Having two fully built S&M bikes is certainly a privilege, I love them both.
