Hey, I'm sure I've seen something like that before...
I actually prefer mine, even if the photography ain't up to scratch.
Since I gave away my childhood bmx before my trip to the UK I'm over chrome. Those saddles are like block spitters to my nether zone. I don't do clips/straps any more. But I am fond of my brakes and the original fork and bars are in storage should I want to ressurect the original track setup.
