Hugh's customized Project 16

How stoked is this kid? He's not only riding a Mirraco Project 16 but he has customized his ride with some special parts too. Here's some info from Hugh's family:

Eight year-old Hugh has always wanted a bike with a gold sprocket, but till now none of his race or freestyle bikes took sprockets. So he picked fellow Midwesterners Tree Bicycle Co.'s Lite Sprocket when had the chance. Fellow Iowans Flatlandfuel.com helped us with a shorter stem, and then had to have something on the bike from our favorite BMX parts company, Snap BMX Products, so that is where the burnt orange seat clamp is from.

Hugh's favorite customization is the forks. He says "the paint job on the forks are really cool." It's a base coat of black and mom blew the gold spray paint from a straw for the splatters.

Hugh says his new Project 16 is awesome and "I can air up really high" on it. Our local MirraCo dealer, Hall Bicycle Co. did a great job with it, including building custom front hub guard and a rear chain guard.

Additions to the solid complete MirraCo. bike include:

Snap BMX Products seat clamp, Tree Bicycle Co. Lite sprocket, SINZ Mini seat w/ post, Profile 145 mm Race Cranks, Odyssey Purple Rain Levers & Evo II front brake and Suelo 35 mm stem.

With four pegs and all still only 19.5 lbs.

Wish to thank supporters 661, Mirraco Bikes and Hall Bicycle Co.
