Micro Me

'Mini Micro' racing BMX (so with with 18" wheels) are hard to come by second hand, but I eventually found one via the friendly community forum BMXTalk.
A 2006 Proline model, it's go go greased lightning with 110psi slicks and 120mm crank (I never remembered how filthy some of the lyrics in Travolta's song were). This one even came with an extra gear set and longer crank arms for supercharging. My little man's striped-down Islabikes Cnoc 16 is a great little street bike, but not built for speed. He came Last, Last, Last in his motos, and kept his chin up for 4th in his final at his first race. This should put the weasel amongst the pigeons. BP
