Today’s Bike Of The Day is Juan Narvaez’s custom 2019 Throdwn XXL. It’s colorful custom painted BMX racing bike loaded with high end parts. This build has been getting a crazy buzz on the web.
Here’s what Juan has to say:
“Trent Jones has been one of my favorite pro riders, and I loved his all white build for the Rio Olympics, so I used that as a starting point for inspiration and incorporated my affinity for 80s/90s style bright colors and designs to come up with the final layout. Element 6 had previously done custom paint on my Intense M16C downhill frame, and it turned out amazingly, so I went to them again when I wanted to do a custom BMX build for this season. I met Max Eden from E6 Racing Components at Grands and he mentioned that he could do a custom rimset, so I sent over the Throdwn logos and he got to work on those, and they turned out amazingly (and I have to thank my local bike shop, Bikes for the Likes of Us for lacing them up!). From there I just started collecting a variety of jet fuel/oil slick, custom powder coat, pink and purple components to finish out the build.”
