Weight: I really don't know, it feels light to me though haha. I'd say about 24 pounds? Maybe a little less.
Why did you choose this frame?
I like how it has a pretty high standover height, and the short back end makes it really easy to spin and manual. It looks nice as well!
Parts you need most often? Hmm, there's like one particular part I break most, I go through my cranks a lot though, but the Eclats are holding up!
Do you have a hook up for most parts?
Nah, I buy my own parts, and my parents like buying me a frame for my birthday each year, thanks mom and dad!
Do you care about the looks of your bike?
Well not too much, I just like it to look simple, as long as it doesn't look like a scooter I'm good haha.
Why all black?
Well the Regulator frame comes in black and red, I chose black because my frame before this one was red, and I like changing it up a bit. It's not all black though, I've got a silver sprocket! haha
Does it have to roll smooth all the time?
Yeah, I really like my bike to be dialed, I've spent a fair bit of money on it, so I try to keep it running smoothly.
Any special modifications?
Nothing special really, I just cut my bars and steerer tube, and I use a wedge seatpost instead of a normal clamp. My rear rim has an extra hole blown in it from hanging up on a ledge though haha.
Thanks to: All my friends that I ride with, Paul de Jong @ Vans, and you, Bart, for letting me show off my bike!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
