Title: Pedal Driven Custom
Post by: tsage1 on November 15, 2014, 09:29:08 AM
Here is my Pedal Driven Kool Thing #34.  A friend of mine had Dave build this for him earlier this year, but due to some issues he was not able to ride it.  I got it and sent it back to Dave for some braking upgrades, and then had it powder coated.  Here are the specs:

FBM Stem
Zodiac Compression Bolt and custom dust cover
Thompson post
S&M Seat

base padset looks phenomenal on that paintjob/scheme. what color is the frame exactly, probably not from a spraycan right? i dig all the antique military green shades i've seen on various frames in the last few years, and am kinda thinking of doing the old garrett byrnes bronze undercoat technique seen here -> http://i62.tinypic.com/2mybzw0.jpg (http://i62.tinypic.com/2mybzw0.jpg) if i go with a shade of military green again. the one i used on my t1 a couple years back was krylon italian olive.

Wow. Just wow.

I think this is the first bike I would actually trade my T-1 for.

Thanks man, the frame was powder coated in a color called yellow olive. If you google ral color charts you will see it. I am really happy with it

Because they work 50 times better than any other bmx brakes I have run. I obsess about having dialed brakes and these make everything I have run in the past feel terrible. I'm old, I ride trails, and all I do trick wise are xups and half assed tables. These brakes suit my life style

They are the newest batch of USA made bars. Can't remember the name though

I'd take the pads off, drop the seat by an 1"1/2, then ride as fast as I could. So perfect.
