Andrew WhiteSunday's Jake Seeley. Launch Jake Seeley Bike Check »Sunday/DuFFS/OSS rider Jake Seeley recently got the signature colorway from bike sponsor Sunday, and he went with an obvious choice: his favorite condiment's color, ketchup red. Just after getting a full ketchup Sunday kit built up, 22-year-old Seeley caught up with ESPN contributing photographer Andrew White for a bike check, and this is the result. Hit up a full interview with Jake about his bike after the jump.

ESPN.com: Do you have any unseen mods on your bike, or is all stock?
Seeley: Nope, no mods just clean and straight to the point.
Can you tell me anything about your signature Sunday colorway?
My colorway was inspired by my favorite condiment, ketchup!
And what other parts is Sunday offering in your colorway?
Other parts Sunday is offering in my colorway would the Tall-T bars, Morning fork 2.1, Word Bubble grip and Sunday seat clamp.
Tell us about your obsession with ketchup.
Well I have a seven pound bucket of it in my kitchen, enough said.
What is your favorite feature about Sunday frames?
It's hard to point out one thing that's my favorite feature, but if I had to choose I would have to go with the waved down tube. It gets used the most and has saved my frame numerous times from being dented.
You have a number of components from non-Sunday brands such as Odyssey and Proper? Is that hooked up through Sunday?
It's more of a hook up through Full Factory distribution which is Sunday, Proper and Odyssey. They know my situation with wheels and stuff, so they always got my back if I need something for my bike. I can't thank them enough.
Andrew WhiteThe ketchup-inspired Sunday Forecaster. Launch Jake Seeley Bike Check »What's new for OSS in the future?
A lot of stuff is still in the works, but there are definitely some big plans for the future! The new signature tee's will be out by the end of the month, I'm real psyched on mine. Adam is definitely putting his all into the company, so great things are expected to come from that. Tees coming soon, and parts to follow in the future. So stay tuned, it will be worth the wait!
Do you actually ride your bike to and from spots?
I usually like to but it's hard at times back home because all of the spots are so spread out so I have to use my car to get around.
How long have you been riding a four-peg, no brakes setup?
I've been riding four pegs and brakeless for about three years now. I started off riding the complete opposite, then slowly peg by peg grew into riding four, which is now definitely my ideal setup.
How does that setup suit your needs?
My setup suits all of my street needs. With four pegs my goofy-footedness isn't so obvious and makes spinning out of grinds regular and opposite much easier. I'm more of a technical rider, so it also just gives me unlimited options for grind combinations. I feel like my setup gives me endless riding options.
