Fekkin neo rave club kid meets the tweenies bikes. Suppose it saves on lights!

Was all the rage with Pro BMX rump, sorry ramp riders last season or 2 ago. But they had to use a normal front wheel, as the powder coating was too heavy on the rim?!

They are the work of Ben from FGL, look much much better in real life, photos don't really do them justice.

Just makes me love my brown and gold even more...it's not like it's new...mtb's went neon in the early 80's...i guess it's true what they say about things coming full circle...cos i still don't like it now.
Just makes me think of those stolen mtb's you see with everything including the tyres sprayed in cheap neon paint.
But each to his/her own...on the bright side,at least it means halfords still has some nice paint colours left in stock.

Not to worry, Ben got them sprayed up by VAZ, they should be good for days, even weeks if they are not ridden.
