NICE SET UP: Round 11

Our Facebook User's Rides

Good afternoon ladies and gents! It’s currently lashing down with snow outside and I’m stuck indoors looking at BMX vids & Pics of people’s rides, wanting to go out and ride badly…

If you’re in a similar predicament, (you probably are if you’re a BMXer in the UK) then fear not! – We have a brand-new round of custom set up’s which are guaranteed to tickle your fancy and keep you entertained. Who knows… One may even inspire you to purchase a few bits as a present “from me, to me” for Xmas.

So without further delay here’s Round 11 of our FB Group User’s ‘Nice Set Ups’

Next we have Andrew Dixon‘s custom Hyper Maniac. Andrew is a local lad who rides for our crew SR7 BMX (shameless plug) but I thought his bike deserved a share since he’s spent a small fortune on it. It’s not just a ‘show bike’ either. He sends it day in, day out on this thing!

Absolutely fell in love with this one when I first saw it posted over on our group. James Bailey has done a nice job of combining Odyssey & Profile parts with Morgan Long‘s signature Fit Bike Co Hoodbird for a nice, long solid frame. This thing will be a treat to ride no doubt!

Dan Burden‘s BSD Passenger looks like a street riders set up with a back brake if I’m not mistaken. Very rare to see these days, although Dan may ride a bit of park too… I don’t know for sure. But the smashed pedal and rather worn pegs seem to suggest this bike has seen mainly street usage!

Richard Gavey posted his BSD ALVX over on our group and I feel a bit bias sharing this one because I ride an ALVX and apart from the Benny L I had for 5+ years it’s possibly the best frame I’ve owned. But hell, this is a ‘nice set up’ built by Richard, you can see he likes his Odyssey parts (good taste) and a few other choice bits in there too!
