Back in Lavender

My bike is Lavender-coloured again. With brown forks and bars, green MacNeil Push-Fit BB and green Animal dual lower cables. Fancy.
I'm still fighting the BB, but I still think it's genius. I grinded 1/20th of a mm off my ti spindle to make it work. Built in suspension! Had the crank arm too close to the chainstay, taking the first chunk out of the paint.
My rear brake is so complicated now: Tech 77, SST Hardcore upper (custom size #59), Snafu Mobeus detangler, 1664 coated inner lower cables, Animal Linear green outer lower cables, Odyssey London Mod, SST DCA, Magic Brake, Hombre Fiesta Kit. Jeebus. weighs 20g more than my normal set up. Not sure if it works better yet. What a collosal waste of my valuable time. (BMX in general, or my new brake set-up?)
