Best looking indust I have seen.  Having a decent stand over height makes all the difference.

That is badass for sure, what FBM bars are those, are they the new ones made in US?

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

Why did you decide to go with v brakes?

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

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 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.

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

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:

I'm guilty of this for sure.  The one thing that bugs me about the museum crowd is the lack of riding the actual bikes.  I have the bikes I thought were cool when I was younger.  I have had fun riding all of them.  Granted I ride some more than others, but they still get ridden and used.  FWIW I posted a pic of me riding the monocoque on BMX Museum and got a serious hate message about it.  (That I was abusing a "classic")

I have a few other treasures, but this is the bulk of it.

Profile Elites.  I had the real tree mini hubs, but could not find the real tree elites.  I had a guy hydro-wrap them for me in regular old school camo.  They came out pretty cool I think
