The hunt was on and after about 6 months, this is what I ended up with. After chatting with Tracy about what he used to ride BITD, he mentioned a Holmes he had so I thought that might be a fitting platform to "hang" all these parts on - plus the long TT was appealing for a tall guy like myself. Now I had enough parts to seriously consider a build. A short time after that my local buddy Mike (Da Missle) hooked me up with a Hardcore seat clamp on a trade deal of sorts (thanks bro) as well as hooked it up on some PMC Hubs. I also had a set of NOS Hardcore axle nuts and NOS Hardcore seat guts I had picked up. I was floored (she earned a lot of "cool points" that day, lol). Then last year at our Old School BMX Ride my wife showed up with Tracy Rice (owner and the manufacture of Hardcore Machine Works BITD) and gave me a NOS 1-1/8" Hardcore mid-school brick stem for my birthday. But I wasn't sure what direction to go as it's a bit out of my era. I have been telling my buddy for a few years now that when I figured out what I wanted, I was going to do a mid-school build.
