This is not my bike and it is not a conversion but it is the coolest Ti scratch built BMX mini velo I have ever seen. A guy who works at Davidson built it and it makes me green with envy!

This is pretty much the bike I dreamed of during the pandemic lockdowns.
Any more info on this bike? I'm most curious about wheel specs, cassette (or freewheel), and what bmx frame that is.

Yes I'd second that, instead of trying to turn a BMX into a mini vello, why not look at some of the current frame sets on the market.

The person that posted that photo has not posted on this forum since 2017, do not be surprised if you get no response.

Davidson is (or was) a custom frame shop out of Seattle. From the context, it sounds like this was a one-off project from one of their builders.
