About:
“Original owner Doug Swenson, Douglas Design of Colorado did the EVH striping and graphics layout and original build.
I received the bike in the early summer of last year and the mods began with a collaboration of friends that consisted of some of the best in our BMX community. Kenny Lund of Phenomenon Designs, Howell, N.J. did the custom SE and Skyway EVH- striped graphics decals and concept.
Michael Gamstetter of Forty-four Sixteen design, Costa Mesa, CA. did custom 80’s Haro replica numberplate.
Mike Siregar at HB Custom, CA. made all vinyl embroidered custom pad cover set from Rick Hector Fine Art concept drawings.
Bret Schroeder at Willinois BMX products custom cut VH dice valve caps.
Skyway Probars are USA made by Hall of Famer Greg Esser, courtesy Ed Ferri private collection.
All other additional components including Redline Flight cranks supplied by PlanetBMX. Final build performed by Breithaupt-era, SE Racing legacy rider, John Hutelin.” ~Rick Hector
