The Take on Commuting
Ever since JPR dropped word on The Take’s foray into commuter bikes in the comments I’ve been waiting to see what the finished product would look like. Obviously, they weren’t going to get much coverage in the BMX media, and they don’t seem to be getting much play The Take’s website, either. But I did spot a picture of them over on FBM’s site.
I give ‘em a seven.
They look fine, and they definitely both look like they could be nice bases for your very own RRB project (although, you could argue that a high quality base defeats the purpose of a rat rod bike). There’s just something about the handlebars that I’m not feelin’. I think it’s mostly the bottom one, which desperately needs its bars flipped and a number plate. Still if they can hit the price point they were aiming for (it was $400, correct?) they definitely look worth it for round town transportation.
