Faction Bike Checks!
Welcome to the first Faction Bikecheck. We'll be running these every few weeks from now on.
So let's check out the ride of the Big Daddy himself, the man behind the curtain, author of "4 Lengthy Years to a Better Basement", also known as the Finnish Devil.... Mike "mikkopeters" Peterson!
Frame: 199? SE made US Big Daddy
Fork: Haro M7
Stem: Haro short reach
Bars: Hoffman Patriot
Grips: A’ME Tri
Front Brake setup: Dia Comp 990, Odyssey levers
Rear Brake setup: Odyssey Evo II’s
Seat: 1984 RedLine branded lightning bolt Velo
Seatpost: Primo Rod
Seat Clamp: Knockoff DC hinged
Cranks: Premium
Sprocket: Destroyer 25t
Chain: KMC
Pedals: S&M DX’s
Tires: Primo
Front Wheel: Smithers built Odyssey hazard Lite, Primo hub
Rear Wheel: Smithers built, KHE street Geisha
Extras: Full meal deal old school w/ some newer school technology. 4 pegs and a gyro!
Any Special modifications/custom bits? Sawed the 990 posts off the chainstays and moved them to the seatstays so I could run a 9t freecoaster and installed a cable stop for the London mod. I am also running 1 1/8” forks in a 1” frame.
Any Comments on this bike: This is easily a “greatest hits” kind of bike for me, something that feels like an old school bike but has enough of the newer school (990’s, freecoaster) stuff that actually works well. Best bike I have ever owned, super special thanks to Paul Smith for all the dealz he has helped me with over the years, my high school BMX bro Mike Anderson and Bill S for the seatpost clamp.
