my first custom bike purchased around may/june 2009 after the rear wheel shit the bed on the marauder. i got this bike for a steal. i was told it was an fbm stairmaster, but i believe it is actually a pw moto. had no pedals when i bought it so i had to ride it home, thankfully downhill by standing on the crank arms. changed out some of the parts from the marauder onto this bike. i have no idea why my shoes and helmet are in the pic. i was a goon when i was 16. hazard 48h v2 9t rear wheel fbm marauder front wheel s&m race fork macneil top load stem fbm marauder bars odi longnecks profile crank tioga fs100 in the front random crap tire in the back animal 25t sprocket stripped pivotal seat animal hamilton pedals
