theRuler · « **Reply #2 on:** July 12, 2007, 12:50 PM »

the pedals are mks footjaws that were gold (cages), but i stripped the gold and polished them

Sweet build Gra, but a fat and skinny pair of all black Kenda knobbies would round that off nicely

Looks lovely Garaham, far better with the mags.

Apart from the wheels, pedals and colour that is exactly the same as my first bmx

I love a MM, and that looks sharp, but those pedals look a bit late for the bike IMO. Get some real old pointy shin-smashers on there
