BMXmuseum.com Bikes / S&M / 1993 S&M Dirtbike

I changed my mind many times how I wanted to go about building this bike, but I'm really happy so far with it. This will definately be my daily rider. Not totally era correct, I just wanted to build it with the parts I wanted to be using everytime I jump on it. Here is a parts rundown.

FRAME: 1993 S&M Dirtbike. 1" headtube, with 990 mounts. Only has one downtube sticker on it...and I believe that sticker is actually for the 95-96 models, not positive on that.

FORK: S&M Stupidfork Combo. 1" steertube that comes with a 1" clamp on S&M Redneck. Pretty rare from what I gather. This is the ditchfork style, with peg bosses. Fork is threaded.

The absolute most out of place thing on this ride are the Revenge 990's. They are apparently the most expensive 990 brake on the market, and they are green. I never thought I'd end up with these on hhere, I had a serious issue though. I intially had old school Dia Compe 990, but they were somewhat rubbing the tire and the brake shoes didn't reach the rim. The axle isn't even slammed in the drops, but I had it where I wanted it...I wasn't willing to add a link and make the rear end even longer. I tried some Tektros I had and struck out. I drove out to a really cool BMX specific shop quite a few towns away. The Revenge brakes were the only ones who had a slot for the pads that went far enough back to still hit the rim. I had to do some more finagling after dropping the $75, but I'll tell you what...these are the best damn brakes I've ever pulled in my life. Sorry for the boring story. But yeah....this is my bike.
