This last October, I got interested in racing BMX again, so I cleaned up my old '99ish GT and hit the track. It had been over 20 years since I last race BMX and, as a result, I've lost a lot of my coordination. It's been coming back, slowly but surely. After breaking the seatpost on my beloved mid-school GT, I was a little worried about further damaging this prestine collector's item.
So instead of just replacing the seat post, I replaced the bike - piece by piece, starting with the frame. Initially, I picked up the frame and a few parts from Fullerton Bikes, and I swapped a lot of parts over from the GT. Wanting to get the GT back to its former glory, I eventually got all of the parts needed.
So what better choice than an Intense Podium to join my fleet of Intenses (5.5, UZZI SLX, UZZI VPX, 6.6, and M3)?
So with that, here's the new Podium:
