OEM

whatever was easy to reach

I care

Pedals are Wellgo prototypes not available to the public yet - "Don't Worry Be Happy"

I really don't remember

As you may have noticed, The only distinctive feature of this bike is the disc brake mounted above the bottom bracket shell. Because the bike is a fixed gear slowing or stopping the rotation of the cranks does the same thing to the rear wheel. Brilliant, eh? You can thank GW of the Trek Store Pittsburgh for coming up with this idea. I just helped him make it work by welding a disc mount in the appropriate location.
