Take your pick and get a great deal at the same time. When faction finally releases the Amero, it will be around $1000 US for the same kit shipped from the UK.

Just got a message from S&M regarding the 22" Holmes. Frame and forks available in black and chrome, with a 21.5" TT length. Sale date is projected as August 20th. Wheel-sets will be available in black, only. Tires are made from the same (Innova) mold as the original Faction dirt tires from the...
Here's a mid school Holmes--disregard the Dirtbike stickers--that I had the brake bridge and chainstay bracket moved in order to run as a 22". The forks are custom Pitchforks and the wheels are the Velocity Taipans. With 22" specific forks on a 20" frame, the bottom Bracket height measures a...
I'm just waiting on my forks from S&M to give this a shot. I'm a little leery to go all out with the tires that I have, since all 3 are piss-poor in material and craftsmanship. See the above post by me. Are you running Faction's old wire-bead tires or their new ones? Maybe another companies...
I just picked-up 3 of the Meghana 22" tires and they are ****! All three are warped/poorly molded and one of them blew-out at 60 PSI as I was inflating it with a hand pump! Amazing, considering the label says max PSI is 110. When Faction gets the new stuff going, I would go with those tires, as...
So, does the 20" frame work with the 22" forks and wheels? Does the brake work, or do you have to run it brake-less? I have custom S&M 22" Pitchforks on the way and will be trying this set-up out with a midschool Holmes frame. I'll post pics with reports on progress when I receive the forks.
I've put in my request for the 22" Dirtbike and have been working my connections @ The Building Distribution. If enough people are serious about getting one, S&M will eventually make them--at least as customs. They are already making the 22" Pitchforks.
I contacted S&M last spring about a custom 22" and Moeller himself suggested I contact FBM and John Lee--before their welder left. He was willing to do the forks, but not the frame b/c of the costs involved. It appears that time and demand have given him a new outlook.
I hope they do decide to...
I'll be 45 in March and I ride a 20" @ the trails and race a 24" at Shoreham BMX. Always the oldest at the trails--but not the best. I'll ride until I can't and I'm at an age where I don't even give a s!&t about having to validate why I still ride a kid's bike! If people have to ask why, they'll...
I just got off the phone with Jessie from Standard and they have 22" specs saved in their database for anyone wondering about a custom 22". Price-range for a custom frame, only, was $475. No bells or whistles.
