I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

21" top and 13.75" rear will ride like an old S&M Holmes. Balance point was super low. If it were me, I'd run taller bars on it. It'd make it easier on you.

I just bought a we the people addict complete and replaced almost everything already. Just got an awesome deal on an eastern grim reaper frame. Our rep gave it to me for 80 bucks because it does not have the lightning rod downtube. It weighs in just over 4lbs I'm in the process of sandblasting it b/c it was purple with blue pearl. Gonna paint it like a flat tooth paste blue. Oh yeah if anyone needs any parts hit me up. We will beat any listed price.

frame was ordered i told them to surprise me with a 21" or a 20.75 the 20.75 has a shorter rear end. the .25 difference in the TT wont bother me and with the shoter rear end (if i end up with the 20.75) i should have a nice manual balance point. should spin super nice also.
