Looking good :)

Thanks :D The frame pad is a little small. I think it isn't a frame pad at all it's a straight bar pad. It's like 7cm short of a real one. However, because the TT on the Burner is so short it actually looks fine. I needed to order some lagging any way to ship parts so I bought 10m of 6mm lagging for £7. That way I can make a new pad insert that fits better and get rid of some of these parts I don't want any more.
I also decided to change the pedals.
A couple of reasons really. Those Bevin things are huge. My intention was to cut off the outer trap and paint the inner one. However, they are not as pictured and the inner trap doesn't go all the way around. Also, if you remove the reflectors they look like turd. So I decided to buy those (which I have no idea what they are yet but hey, £12 inc) and then ID them and then remove the outer trap, oven cleaner off the ano and candy them in blue. I gotta say they look quite premium to me. That looks like a slab of billet in the middle and not casted either. Either way they will look far better.

Ordered this for the pedal traps.
Then did a quick mock up to make sure everything fits before I commit to powder. Seat post shim is slightly too small, needs some shaving out.
Don't want to smack a fluted seat post in with a hammer. It would never come out again.
Midschoolfool:
Oh irony, how you mock me. Usually guys spend days trying to get a seat post out, not in :D
I had to grind down every flute on the post with a Dremel using a reinforced cutting disc, then cut the shim down etc. Took me over two hours. Totally worth it though.

It's been a while since I popped in but I see you've been busy! & much busier than I've been with my Redline build! ::)
As said earlier, everyone has different ideas on how a bike should look, which is what makes BMX so interesting, imagining how such and such a part would look, how we would change things on a build, etc, etc. I admire the path you're taking here and look forward to seeing how the frameset turns out. Good luck with it all and keep us posted on progress! :daumenhoch:
