Thanks for the photos and leads.

I bleed old school, but I got to tell you, the new bikes ride really nice, and fit us much better.
This is a screaming deal, if our team wasn't sponsored by GHP, I'd be building one of these.

This is my AZUSA, one of 25 built by Supercross, JMC Darrell Young tributes (I also have a 24, one of 20) because I prefer the old school style..
Not only are the newer frames stronger, stiffer, but they fit way better.
