It’s Black Magic!

I’ve been rollin’ on 22’s for a few years now but recently started thinking about going back to 20” wheels if I could find a suitably long frame. A few weeks ago I spotted this here S&M Black Magic frame on eBay and I knew what had to be done. Thus, this Frankenstein’s Monster of a bike was born.

Built up with a mix of finely aged parts I had lying around and even a few from this decade as well. I’m stoked on being able to use the Odyssey Elementary stem again (even if it’s a huge pain to set up). The steerer tube on my Fit TwentyTwo’s forks, and the Pitchforks I upgraded to, was too short for it.

My riding couldn’t be further away from Matty Aquizap’s (the height that dude gets is unreal) but the Black Magic is everything I was looking for in a frame, it feels amazing.
