It’s a dirt seal made of Neoprene by bodybelt .
Lever use a pitbull and custom bend it.
Grips look like Tec 7's streached.
Tires comp 3's blue/gray label.
Seat my be Selle Italia turbo.
Rims/hubs look like araya 7x and TNT hubs.

I havnt seen a dirt seal by body belt, seen the ron c ones. Ima have to search for a pic of that!
Grios i was wondering of they were jive, ill check out the tec 7's .
Tnt hubs huh? I thought they might have been something else, i thought the old tnts hubs had holes drilled through. Revolvers right?

Grips are Pistol Grips, lever is a Tech 77 with a custom bend. I don't recall BF ever using a Turbo seat, but as I recall he ran Profile cranks.

Where can i find a pic of the dirt seal??
I was thinking if the grips are odi then they would probably be the longnecks??
Not sure about the hubs tho, to me they dont look like these: http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=45075

Tnt hubs as his brother rode for them 7x or rb17s tech 77

Grips are Pistol Grips

Thats what i was thinking also! Pistol/longneck, im not sure the difference.
Ill check out the lever, and i dont recall ant turbo seats either.

Thanks for the help and any other suggestions are welcome!!

Def a tech 77 lever after looking at it, thanks again fellas

That really just leaves the seat then...And i have to find a pic of the body belt thing, i have the pads.

Does anyone recall if it just had "body belt" across the front, and velcro to attach it?

No need for one on the top cup right?

It looks like im starting a conversation with myself LOL

gaijin · 2012-11-03 7:26pm

Yes, it was basically just a neoprene strap with a piece of Velcro on one end that wrapped around the lower headset cup.

tomknox · 2012-11-03 7:34pm

Thats wild, im sure they sold millions yeah right??

On the GPR plate, do any of you guys recognize any particular stickers or anything else that stands out?

gaijin · 2012-11-03 7:36pm

Very bottom in the middle is and Ecko decal. Other than that, I got nuthin'.

tomknox · 2012-11-03 7:40pm

Who the heck owned Body Belt, i cant even find the company anywhere. Maybe they are just defunct?? I thought they made all kinds of apparel, they weren't just bmx products were they??

gaijin · 2012-11-03 7:46pm

No, they were mostly weightlifting products.

tomknox · 2012-11-03 9:37pm

I'm very limited on reference but these are the only two images that i can find with the cranks showing. The first looks like profile 4th generation to me. The second pic looks to be redline single pinch. I dont know the sprocket on any of these pictures except maybe thats a redline in this first photo? Even then it sounds funny, redline sprocket w/profile cranks?

(Pic 1)

(Pic 2)

tomknox · 2012-11-03 9:44pm

Can anyone name the hubs in (Pic 1) just above?

Green Griffin 420 · 2012-11-03 9:45pm

spc could be cycle craft.

tomknox · 2012-11-03 10:11pm

Yeah maybe on that one, it wont be on mine since they are so rare
