How about a thread in which we fawn all over the little ones? :lol:

An ode to ounces! A diary of detailed pics! From sew-up mania to 1 1/8 wheels to 1 3/8 weigh-watchers and everything in between! Post up your down-sized dreamboats!

This is still my favorite bike that I own. I love the sewups. Love the hammerhead Uni. Love the alloy bars:

'Glamour Shots as I first built it....

After I made some very necessary upgrades like Campy cranks, Hutch Mini bars, Hutch Mini clamp.

My other entry is a midget-minded 1977 DG Steve Skibel Model. I tried to use some of the weight-loss tricks published in the 70's BMX mags like Qick Release fron hub, hollow axle on rear, cut down seatpost, alloy road parts a plenty, 3TTT saddle with claims of being one of the lightest of the day), even a sawed-off alloy road stem as opposed to a typical steel clamp of the day:

Post up your bikes! Calling Ron! Calling Hector! Calling all those who are down with down-sizing!

I don't know much about MDR...weren't they a European company (EDIT: Yea, I guess so looking at the head tube decal again)? Looks sweet!

On another note....I guess I immediately broke on of the parameters right after I typed it by putting in the DG which had 1.75 wheels on it. But I thought it would fit in since it really is a mini-sized bike.

You guys and your damn little kids bikes... :ThumbsUp:

Nice going there guys. A few of those are to die for. I remember back in the late 70's early 80's some of the adults drilling out EVERYTHING possible to shave off an ounce or two on their kids minis.
