Very nice. I've always wanted a Curtis, their frames are beautifully made. They used to be made in the town where I live so when I was younger Curtis BMX's were the coolest bikes to have.
A couple mates are sponsored by Curtis and they love their frames, they give them a good hammering as well.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
