I know Elite gets shit on a lot around here but I couldn’t pass on a $50 marketplace complete a couple months back to play with. Other than being uglier than fuck from living in the weather. It just needed a few things to make riding it actually enjoyable so I got rid of the shitty parts, threw some nice(r) parts and paint at it and it’s a totally new bike.

Whatever gets you rolling man. Chain looks a little loose tho
I had a complete ruption hacker that ended up with powerbite cranks, tenderizers, Alex Supra e rims and some haro bars. Ride it till it breaks then upgrade, Forget what the fashion riders say about it.
I think it if gets you riding, that really all that matters.
Those headset cups look clean
Get nicer parts then eventually get a nice frame too
Your cranks are on backwards. They need to be flipped sides, left to right, right to left. I know cause your pedals are backwards, they’ll keep coming loose and destroy the threads in the cranks if you don’t fix it. I just got these pedals too in small, very nice build, seem perfect for BMX. I ground the pins down to my preference but compared to the HT pedals I was running the pins are sturdier.
As for upgrading, it’s the best way to figure out what you like before committing to sa high end complete or new frame.
