Added reply in a thread Custom wheels...
I've had both Dan's and Albe's build custom sets for me; both were to spec and came out perfect. Any bike shop will build you a wheel to spec, you just need to supply them with your wish list and/or budget and they'll work with you.

Added reply in a thread First things to do when building complete BMX up
lots of grease and make sure you have all the right tools (sockets, hex heads/keys, DIY crank/bb tool if necessary). Nothing worse than laying everything out, getting started, and realizing that you don't have the one hex that you need, or you have standard ... more »

gun blue sounds rad!
Added reply in a thread Top/bottom load stem (update, please read if interested)
I would undoubtedly buy one (in black!) in either variation, though I prefer a front load. I do like the look of the top loader though, it reminds me of the animal inverse in form, which is not a bad thing.
