stopped in at Oscar's shop today and he showed me the 07 version of his '509' frame, plus some pics of other one-off bikes he's built lately. These things had me floored, wishing I was in the market for a new frame. So I thought I'd share the love & some bike porn...

the 07 '509' with horizontal dropouts







Then a painted 509 with vertical dropouts...



This bike was a custom build for a friend of his...




Last, I jacked a clip of Oscar breaking his ankle boosting a 30' double at the trails, or 'research and development'


enjoy!

good lookin bike, what's the b.b. heigth?


is he using a 14.5" seat tube? just curious...his site says that he is but it doesn't look that tall?

edit: (looks like the custom bike for his friend may have a shorter seat tube.....)

Nice! I really really like the 4X bike he built his friend, that's so clean, and same goes for the other frames.

Here is some more bike porn from Simple. Hmmm... I wonder who's frame this could be??? :biggrin: The color is a secret. I'll post up some more pics and info later. Should get it this week. It's a little bit different than his other frames... very progressive geo. Si, es BB de España.

Those are sick frame but the price in my opinion is a little high.

yea eric I dunno, these bikes are made one at a time, by one person. And like cru said, he'll do custom frames at the drop of a hat. I've seen road frames, cyclecross, and all sorts of bmx frames...

plus he'll make sure the seat tube is shimmed out before he sends it off... which reminds me, you have your bike in town? I'll be riding in a couple weeks if my leg keeps healin

I wasn’t trying to start a fight over the cost of the frame. I understand that he makes them one at a time but if your not looking for a custom bike the price a little high which is my opinion and I’m not saying my opinion is more right then anyone else’s opinion.
I do have my bike in town but it kind of hard to ride it when it’s icy.

I feel you man, didn't mean to challenge your opinion, I just think... what the hell, it doesn't matter. 600 bucks isn't cheap, but this is the most fun frame I've ever ridden. lets go ride when the weather gets better

Lucky dude, that is a sweet looking frame. Seeing it almost makes me wish I would have gotten mine in raw... almost.
