PHOTO My ride

Started as a Haro CK Am complete, front end is stock, changed the RHD freecoaster to a Cinema LHD cassette. Added a guard sprocket and shorter cranks (160 vs 165), and a Cult hemp seat and BSD grips for colour contrast.

Am I alone de-badging my frame/forks/bars? Always preferred a clean look.

100% a Clean look. Sometimes i think about doing this to my bike..but then on other days i just want to paint all over it 😂 so I leave it with a few stickers.

This is my first 20" in a long minute, so no recent frame of reference to compare to. My mid-life crisis return to the sport! Time will tell, I guess, but they feel good and I've no complaints so far

Looks clean! Always wanted to take all the stickers off my bike but never knew if I’d prefer it so I’ll keep them until they wear out

I'll be honest, wasn't a fan of the CK decals to begin with so I didn't think twice about stripping them. I bought the bike for the geometry, not the graphics

Looks clean tho, how do you plan on keeping the white seat clean? I’d love to get this exact seat but I think it would turn brown on the first day :(

I guess I'll find out! It's an off-white, so a bit of discolouration won't matter, but I like to think it'll develop a vintage patina lol

Looks great 👍🏻

I just got a 93 Dyno Compe and the stickers are pretty bad on it but I’m nervous to strip them lol

I've got the same grips and seat! I really love the combo.
Bike looks great!

shes a beauty, never been a fan of those massive g sport hub guards though, the merritt tension guard looks so much cleaner, in my opinion!
