I wanted to share some photos of the build with everyone on here. I'm currently putting all of the pictures in the bike check section, The bike took me about 5 months to complete between working, riding and making seat covers. The bike started as a 2005 RM250 all stock with some major bottom end issues. And was completely framed and had every single bearing seal and part replaced. I wanted to build a retro bike that would stand out, and figured I could pull this one off as a new style 1992 RM250 replica, I have raced the Sleepy Hollow 2 stroke shoot every year since it started ,Its a really fun event So I called my friend Mike McDade right away and told him what I wanted to do and asked him if he wanted to race it in the Pro Class, He was aboard instantly, For those that know Mike hes a solid person and a family man so I had no problem building the bike for him to race. We had some great sponsors aboard to help with some of the parts cost and discounts. I went with some solid companys that I trust and ones that match the styling I was looking for. I just wanted to thank, Ripped Vinyl graphics, Mika Metals, Ksr Wheels, Bills Pipes, Rocket Valley engines and suspension, Belray oils, cheapass racing, Ransom Bikes, checkers powder coating, and a few friends along the way Eric Nandal, Wayne Ransom, Scott Lukaitis, Rob English. I can't wait to choose another bike to build. All of the photos will be in bike check soon let me know what you think.

Really digging the retro thing just now. Saw a 94 KX rebuild the other day, made me feel like a kid again!!!
No doubt that bike will draw even more attention to the talented Mr. McDade.

However, that is a bad ass retro build. I love it. Definitely different and definitely super cool.
We can be retro bros. Retbros. You can be 1992. I'll be 1994.
Great job, I think it looks killer.
