Bike Check: Rick MacDonald

Rick has been toying around with in house powder coating and recently did his frame and a few parts on his bike. We decided to take a better look at it, snap a few pictures and maybe try to spread the word of him doing custom powder coating for people. This is the first flatland bike check we've ever done too. Pretty sweet looking rig he has going on here. Check it out!

"My bike isn't super trendy, I have many classic parts on there that I will use forever...Just a few years ago, flat bikes were getting all twisty, very lightweight and downright fragile...that trend seems to be going away finally! I don't hesitate to hit the ramps on this bike at all."
