My BMX bike review

Weight: 13,4 Kg When was this bike manufactured: 2005 or even older... but last customizations were made not that long ago Frameset: Frame: DiamondBack (DB) Sherman '05. Double butted full cr-mo frame. 20.75" TopTube; 14.75" ChainStay Fork: Odyssey Dirt Pro '06 Parts and controls: Bars: Odyssey Lumberjack (28" wide, 8.25" height) Stem: DB D-Day (53mm) Headset: FSA Pig Grips: Flybikes Ruben 15cm (black) Bar Ends: Plastic, which came with Flybikes Ruben Seat: DB Padded Jump with Tuff Trak top Seat Post: Odyssey Intac 25.4mm Seat Post Clamp: DB stock Brakes: Brake: Odyssey Evolver (one) Brake Lever: DiaCompe Dirt Harry lever (Right side, rear brake) Brake Cable: Odyssey Linear (red) Brake Pads: Kool Stop Salmon
Drivetrain: Cranks: Profile Race 180mm (black) Sprocket: DB King Diamond 36t Chain: KMC K710 "Kool" Chain Pedals: Animal Hamilton (brown), looseball Bottom Bracket: USA BB Sealed with 19mm 48 spline Chromoly Spindle
Front Wheel: Rim: ALEX Supra-J triple wall 48h, CP Spokes: Unknown black stainless 14 gauge Hub: DB Sealed 48h alloy, 14mm crmo axle Tire: Odyssey Aitken P-Lyte (up to 100PSI), 20x2.25 Tube: CST for 2$ Back Wheel: Rim: ALEX Supra-J triple wall 48h Alloy, CP Spokes: Unknown black stainless 14 gauge Hub: DB Sealed cassette 48h, 14mm crmo axle, 2pc driver with 13t cog Tire: Maxxis M-Tread (85-110PSI), 20x2.1 Tube: CST for 2$
Extras: One stock DB chain tensioner on drive side, seatpost uncut, bars uncut, many playful stickers, two odyssey rimstrips (those snakebites began to really to suck) Pegs: None. At all.




To do list: First priority: To change frame. Supposedly the Terrible One Hickerson/Moody frame with CS brake mounts and 21.25" TopTube with integrated headset and spanish BB. Those two also will be needed to change. Second priority: I don't know well, but I want lighter wheels (like Odyssey 7K with Profile SS hubs), sealed pedals, lighter seat. Also I am eager to get a superior brakeset, like Fly brakes for mounting on CS, Nokon cable, some great lever and a new pair of Salmon Kool Stop pads.
