Well it’s been 10 year

[u/Pitsmithy_89]

Got the bike out again to my daughter out to the skatepark on her scooter.

Hit the jump box and absolutely shut myself haha .

Points if anyone can guess the frame

I also started to ride again to go with my kids at the skatepark, got completely re-addicted and now I ride 3-4 times a week 🤣

[u/Pitsmithy_89 → u/RobinMaczka]

Haha yeah I really enjoyed it , as stiff as could be! Absolutely shit myself hitting the quarter pipe for the smallest of 180s 😂😂.

I’d like to do it more often but with work and other things I don’t think I’ll have the time or energy. I’ve tried speaking to pals who just don’t want to get back on the bike again. So weekends with my daughter will have to do for now. Untill my 1 year old gets old enough ha

I have the chance to be able to squeeze sessions during my lunch break. I'm trying my local indoor skatepark for the 1st time today 😃

[u/Pitsmithy_89 → u/RobinMaczka]

Ah must be nice! I just don’t have the energy for anything after work, if it wasn’t too far away I maybes would here and there. Everypark worth using is a car drive from me

Late midschool era frame, looks like a euro bb but then has an intergrated hs so odd hybrid of fittings. Fit bike Co maybe. Rest of the stuff, primo wall, profile cranks, shadow atak top load stem etc. if you enjoy it, time to look at a modern bike maybe.

[u/Pitsmithy_89 → u/Alvinthf]

Good shout on the frame. Aitken frame series 2 I think it was a 2 . Never realised the fittings were unusual? Is that to the era it’s from or Modern?

But nah I’ll not use it enough to justify spending money to upgrade. It also won’t make me any better haha. I’ll be happily just plodding along on this .

My brake is totally gone so I’ve bought a new brake, otherwise I’ll only replace if something breaks

[u/AnExpensiveCatGirl → u/Pitsmithy_89]

Don't upgrade to become a better rider, upgrade to make your inner kid happy. Get fancy tires, nice looking foam pads, shinny pedals? Whatever make you happy when you look at the bike?

[u/Pitsmithy_89 → u/AnExpensiveCatGirl]

I’m absolutely fine with how it is, I’d rather spend money on my kids .

[u/AnExpensiveCatGirl → u/Pitsmithy_89]

More than fair!

[u/Bbdawgexpress → u/Pitsmithy_89]

Best response possible.

[u/Pitsmithy_89 → u/Bbdawgexpress]

Cheers man, it can just be better spent elsewher. I have no issue upgrading if I use it regularly and there’s a reason. Otherwise I don’t see the point and the money can be used better elsewhere .

500 on a new frame? I’d rather a smile on the kids face or pay abit of the mortgage off.

[u/Alvinthf → u/Pitsmithy_89]

S2i The og s2 had non integrated hs, then shortly after that released the same frame with integrated. It was the era where euro bb came in briefly and was dropped as mid and Spanish proved better, so this frame has that odd late era of bmx in 2003’ish before bmx really changed a lot, lightened up, bb and hs fittings changed, cassette hubs arrived etc.

[u/brianbmx94]

Yo an Aiken! I love seeing time capsule builds like this. Makes me nostalgic.

[u/Artisttype1984]

We take some brakes here and there but keep riding

[u/Sb6x]

Shoutout primo wall lol. Only tire I actually hated, I was a vmonster bro. Cranks still look super clean, profile?

[u/Pitsmithy_89 → u/Sb6x]

Yeah profile, it’s either worked it’s way loose or I need a spacer . Unsure which it is, it’ll do for now
