The build has begun, with the 1st shipment of parts arriving today. The build will consist of a Brooklyn Machine Works Launchpad frame and fork, with Profile, Shadow Conspiracy, and Velocity components. The build will be not only a commuter but also setup for tricks. Thanks to the Launchpads mid bottom bracket, allowing true bmx parts to be used the build should be strong enough for tricks, yet still light enough for a track bike. As the build continues; pictures, weights, and reviews of each component will be added.
