Don't let lack of skills stop you. It didn't stop me. Doing it means learning it.

I heard from a few guys that came down for Laconia Bike Week that you can't register a rigid frame up there. Has that changed? or is it only certain provinces?

welcome form another BC boy...not sure about registering a hardtail in BC, but i am modifying a stock from so my registration won't have to change and inspection won't be an issue unless i get flagged for no turn signals etc...
good luck with the build |

Theres lotsa aftermarket rigids around, so I guess so. Otherwise I'm gonna go down to the shop that sold me the frame and kick some ass! (By that, I mean start something and get my ass kicked.)
