I mean your buddy actually, but if he managed to trashpick a bike with profile cranks and odyssey wheels he must be a god of trashpicking or that bike was supposed to be recovered by its owner. Also you should cop that 21.75" that Halbritt mentioned to swap in just in case the frame’s too little for you.

his dad is a pastor? That doesn’t fucking matter. That’s not even relevant.
My dad was a licensed minister when I was growing up. I started doing coke at 13 yrs old, was in and out of kiddie jail… stealing shit and getting in fights was a regular occurrence. I was a total prick.
Just because you are a pastors kid doesn’t mean you aren’t a complete douche-bag. Most pastors are fuckheads… and their kids are undoubtedly worse.
Saying he is a pastors kid wouldn’t justify him stealing a bike and saying he “trash picked” it.
This:

is all you needed to say.

yeah i’m gonna cut em or swap for some with a narrower box. not a ton of room to cut as i’m not a cool brakeless kid. i bomb 60kph in traffic too often for that and i can’t afford new shoes every week.
but apparantly they were built for mirra, as i bought the bike off of one of his aqaintances, and i am now the 3rd owner. heh.

triplesexer: i just said pastor because they literally live next to the church. someone ditched the bike at the church for some reason, they had it on CL for a month, i asked my buddy a question about bmx bikes and hes like “dude i got a bike for you”
