Get on over to The Merged for the latest installment of their Custom BMX Frames series! This time around they talk to Dave Harrison from Pedal Driven Cycles about his operation and what he has to offer! Read and see it all right here.
Dave Harrison has been busy in the Pedal Driven shop cooking up a new street directed frame called The Slab. This frame has been in the works for quite a while and it looks like it’s finally ready for you to get your hands on it. The Slab features a 75-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.625″ bottom bracket height, 9″ stand over height and a 13.375″ chain stay length. This frame features gussets on the top and down tubes, a Pedal Driven badge on the head tube and down tube, wide stays for bigger tires and heat-treated drop outs.

Head over to ESPN BMX for a fresh interview with Dave Harrison from Pedal Driven Cycles and Vic Bettencourt from Circuit BMX Shop. In the interview, Dave talks about where things are with Pedal Drive Cycles and what’s coming from that, and Vic talks about how the limited edition run of Circuit frames came about. Real good read! Check it out!
If you’re in the Rhode Island area, I’d suggest you make your way to Circuit BMX on March 1st where Dave Harrison will be doing a Meet and Greet along with showing off the first frame from Pedal Driven Cycles, the Kool Thing frame. Plus, there’s going to be FREE BEER! Sounds like a damn good time to me.
Anyone who has been in BMX long enough is well aware of who Dave Harrison is. I doubt too many people would doubt his reputation as being one of the best welders in BMX either. Over the last year, he has been busy getting his own welding company called Pedal Driven Cycles dialed in and it looks like things are finally on the move. Today he announced that they will be releasing a limited run of their first frame called “Kool Thing”. This American made (clearly) frame has a 74.5-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.75″ bottom bracket height, 9″ seat tube height and a 13.75″ chain stay length. You can find features like the Stainless steel Pedal Driven Cycles head tube and down tube badges (that are individually marked for each one of the 50 frames being released), Shark Fin technology in the bottom bracket, a top tube gusset with “TCB” laser cut out, which stands for “Taking Care of Business”, 3/16″ heat-treated drop outs and removable brake mounts. The Kool thing will be available 20.75″ and 21″ top tube lengths with raw or black for the colors. You can pre-order one of these frames for $380.00 right here or have your local shop hit up Pedal Driven Cycles to get one ordered up today. Remember, there’s only 50 of these being released so get on it now if you want one.

Dave Harrison, who probably welded one of your frames from his years at FBM, is trying to raise the funds needed to get Pedal Driven Cycles off the ground with the “Kool Thing” frame. After you hear his proposal for what he needs your help with, head over to his Kick Starter page to find out more and donate! You know this will only lead to good things so dig under the couch cushions and get all your friends who owe you money to pay you back so you can donate too.
I donated $10 to the cause.
