[MUGEN]

Needs tyres :p

[Spooky]

sum fwally sik tripppls on da apollo.

Nah the manik's are good value, i'd be removing reflectors if it was mine.
What do you do on it?

[Dim]

great bikes....but the manik would be crap if it wasnt for the BLING BLING reflectors :P

[Sethius]

ive taken off the reflectors sides the wheel ones. i dunno why i havent taken them off yet. i ride round town hit some tracks but i live near buller so when i get a full face some more serious freeriding and downhilling will be taking place. im really happy with it gotten used to pedalin up hills aswell. tried do a stall back to back wheel hop and spinning 90 but i kept coming off the back. i'll it sooner or later...

and you need MORE, not less, reflectors on the manik!
