Ohhh, I've definitely seen you riding this thing on the greenway before in the various forms. I was probably blasting up to Dinosaur BBQ on my yellow Uno Pista. I love your ride man, too bad I moved upstate and don't see such candy on the streets anymore.

What tape do you have on your bullhorns?

Just some cheap ebon tape. I believe they are also sold under origin8 packaging. Not bad but not the best.

Nice build! How do you like those straps? They look sweet!

Pretty good so far. I jumped on their 50% off sale and picked them up. My feet are size 9 and it's on the biggest adjustment hole, so I dont know how good they will be for someone with larger shoes.
