You might remember a post from a while back where we learned that Scott Towne was rollin’ on a Stolen 24.
Well, Scott’s been visiting the race track as of late, so he’s gone out and got himself a proper race rig.
His choice?
DK’s top-of-the-line Elite Cruiser (by way of Matt Bischoff).
A great bike, ready to race, “right out of the box”…as the bike industry is apt to say.
What caught my eye though, were the modifications he made to it.
Otherwise a stock bike, Scott says
[He] had to make a couple tweaks (daddy doesn’t do carbon forks) and of course, taller bars…
A man after my own heart!
Traditional cruiser bars: who needs ’em?
And not “doing carbon forks”?
I’ve mused before over whether BMX should or should not reduce its carbon footprint. I have considered using carbon in the past but in the end have always stuck with chromoly.
Good old fashioned chromoly forks.
(Don’t call it a comeback…they’ve been serving us well for years).
Scott definitely has a sweet a ride with mods that I can only say are “cruiser revolution-approved.” (For further, evidence peep my race ride here, to see a similar set up…DK frame, cro-mo forks and big bars….we’re birds of a feather apparently…)
For more on Scott, check out his Tumbler and Instagram accounts for daily updates on his biking-related exploits/riding adventures.
