Good ole 1 pc cranks. I remember some flatlander pros using them back in the day. Maybe Andrew Farris? I heard putting the brake cable on the same side is a little better for braking bc it stiffens the cable against the frame more. As opposed to the loop around the head tube where the zip ties are stiffening the cable. Also think you can get more barspins like that. Just a heads up.

That the beauty of paint over powder I can use glaze putty or spray fill primer over the pitting. Powder bakes right into pitting. Powder is very tough but once it gives and moisture gets in itll really start pitting. I've had powder coat steel so brittle from rust underneath you could crush the tubing in your hand. The coat held up but not the steel under. PC good for a factory building farm equipment I don't like it on bmx restorations at all.
