I am intrigued most by the obscure spectrum of the hobby in regards to parts, bikes, history. In fact I tend to collect more towards the less popular and obscure. I really don't like having what everyone else has. I know most of us have a bike, maybe a part or two that is fairly obscure whether it is a regional deal, a one off, or from a small lesser known company.

I could be polite and ask but that gets you nowhere. I DEMAND you post something from your BMX collection that is obscure (all eras).

Sweet Bros padset, unless you are from the Southeast you most likely have never heard of them. They were most definitely a small regional soft goods outfit. I am still looking for a frame that they supposedly had made in the late 90's. I'll find a unicorn turd with a hens tooth in it first I think.

1995 ONE XL chromoly (Netherlands). This is one of their earliest frames and one of the few that were chromoly. Huge in Europe today, in 95 basically unheard of here, even the modern stuff is few and far between in the States.

The frame and a few other bits were shipped from the Netherlands.

Peddlepower was a local bike shop here in SoCal BITD. Steve Johnson (later the creator of Torker) made these frames for Steve Rink. Not exactly sure how many were made, maybe 50, maybe 100.

I 'might' have the only one left.
