As I'm simply not in the mood to post in every "Micro or Razor Pro" "What Micro to buy?" etc...thread
I'll just write a detailed guide trought Micro, what to buy, what not...
When you buy a Micro, be prepaired for either much money spent, or a lot of home-made stuff. So, lets go.
1st option - buy a solid deck only
So, you go to http://www.micro-xtreme.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_49&products_id=151 and simply pay 109 Ã?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?â??Ã?¬ wich is 136 $ + shipping and you get:
A Spirite deck with square reinforcements, double foldy neck plates, epoxy filled foldy and a stock headset in the headtube (brake and back wheel axle included)...
With this you're pretty much set-up, put your bars fork and wheels on it and go ride...
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2nd option - the oh-so-famous ScooterPeru mod
For the start your Micro shopping cart needs to look like:
So this time it's 93$ but you miss the whole foldy (plates + the epoxy filled thing)
What you'll need now is a 1 cm thick Alu (or some other metal of your choice) plate wich you'll cut like:
Well, bad angle of the picture, so it looks weird...but it's just to show what they will do...
The plates will replace the foldy and the double plates...
The plates should be like:
Take care of the head tube angle...when you make the plates, it's you who'll define the angle, fernando told me he's plates are 83Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?° and I guess I'd ride them like that too...
I don't have the exact dimensions here, I'll post them up tomorrow...
Once you cutted 2 plates you'll need spacers to fill in the space between them, they need to be the same thickness as the headtube part where the plates are screwed too...
Looking from the top, I'll look like:
The red things are the plates, the 2 blue things are the spacers...so the screws will go trough them, the shape isn't important, round, square...it's up to you...
Once you put everything together it'll look like:
That's how Fernandos look like, and really, once you've done this, you're set for a longer period...

3rd and last option
Well, it's like the 2nd option, you only remove the square reinforcements and the brake.
Dimensions for the reinforcements are: 25 x 25 mm x 2mm thickness, and the lenght is the lenght of the deck...
Drill the holes, put the spacers into the reinforcements (so they don't bent when you tighten them) and it's done...
The brake can be a stock Razor/JDBug (I'm riding like that)...
By doing this you save another 50$ and so the price at the end is:
40-ish $ + plates + reinforcemet pipes + your brake + bolts + shipping
At the end, depending on the metal prices, you have a deck like Fernando for around 90$
Put your bars, fork and wheels on it, and you're ready to go out and ride...
