Alright. I think I'm going to pick up either like a school bus yellow or golden color spray paint from Wal-Mart. I'm going to spray my pedals first and see how that goes. If I like it, I'm going to spray my chain, stem, seat clamp, and possibly brake lever (which I might be getting a small Ody Monolever for free!).

The ultimate old man bike.
Frame: Fly Tierra 20.6 (it's actually a 19.8)
Fork: Suelo Flatland Zero offset
Wheels: Odyssey Hazards with 9T Nankai Freecoaster/Primo front hub 3/8" axles
Tires: Odyssey K-Lytes Folding tires 20X1.75 (flatland tires)
Cranks: St. Martin Hollowflat 160mm
Sprocket: St. Martin 20T
Pedals: Shadow Nostra
Chain: Shadow Half-Link
Seatpost: KHE
Seat: KHE Tanaka
Detangler: Odyssey Gyro + Cables
Rear Brake: Odyssey Evo
Front Brake: Suelo
Brake Pads: Kool Stop
Stem: Le Merk 25mm
Bars: Kink 8.25"
Brake Levers: Odyssey
Grips: Oury
Bar Ends: Incredible Hiker Helpers (Delrin sliders to help with hitchhikers)
Pegs: Kink (grip tape on top, smooth on the bottom for grinds)
WEIGHT: 24.5 lbs. FULLY LOADED. (I've had builds at 19 lbs, but it was totally wack to have a bike that light).
I'm old, so I ride everything. I can do hang fives/tens (one handed), hitchhikers, steamrollers, decades, and a bunch of other flatland combos/tricks, but I can still bust wallrides, technical park, 360's, fakies, grinds, etc. All on the same bike. A raised seat and full brakes FTW!

Here's my 10lb. bike (it's actually called an un-bike). If you're having a hard time with hang 5's try something like this.
Here's TJ Perry riding an unbike.

Haha oh yeah. With Ti spokes (no offense to WTP), Ti bars, everything. Oh and plastic forks and no tires. Ah you know what, screw the rims too. But then you wouldn't need the spokes.

You don't need tubes either, just super glue a valve stem into the rim, and then super glue the tire on, vwalah!!!!!!! tubeless bmx wheels.
