i'm also running a 1.95 on the back. here is a shot of the chainstay clearance and i'm running my wheel slammed, the clearance is identical at the seatstays too...

looking awsome. One thing i never understand is if you run the rear wheel slammed, how do you get it off to change a flat. yes a newbie question.

use a rear hub w/ a female axle. its sucks breaking chains or worse, removing cranks.

couldn't you use a master link to remove the chain?

edit, for the half link they use a koder pin right

updates? or did i miss a new thread?
Getting close. The bars are finished and the frames will be done in about two weeks. Then painting, then shipping. So, hopefully we'll have them by the end of the month... but, more likely sometime in November.

Thanks again for the interest. I'll definitely have some updates and some more info as we get closer.

will you be offering the frame in raw with a clearcoat?
Well, that is a good question. I'm trying to figure out the colors right now. I was thinking about going with a flat black or dark grey option, and then a color option like a cool powder blue or something like that. We will probably only have two color options.

What do you guys think? Should I do a raw with clearcoat instead of a flat black or grey? What other colors do you like... or better yet, what colors do you think most people will like?

Thanks! :thumb:

imo, i think there are some people that like the bright frames. for me, i like either a raw, or a deep blue/red/green, matched with all black parts.

you could do like a yellow frame, orange, green.

what if you did colour runs? saw swap colours every few months. make more colours available.

I'm stepping in late in this, I know, but they look amazing. It's nice to see something more out of the box. They're very BMXTB.

The flat black sounds good, and maybe go for a color you don't see often. Tonic Fab has(d?) the light blue, Blk Mrkt has the orange. Maybe a lime green? Trans. reds and blues always look amazing. Maybe a trans purple?

That's great, man! I think it's awesome you are pulling this off. Dream to reality!
I hope it works out profitably for you.
Do you have the final specs, or are you going to wait and actually measure them?

Holy ****. Price and what are my chances of getting one? This looks like it would strongly compete with the Model C, maybe even raise the bar.
Thanks! Haven't finalized the price, yet. It should be in the same range as the Model C frame. And your chances of getting one could be pretty good... I'll have plenty to sell in about a month! :thumb:

Still trying to figure that out! Names, names, names... company name and frame name are the hardest part of this whole process!!! haha

We've got the company name, but I'm keeping it under wraps until we can launch the website.

sounds like you'll be selling direct like Seshin used to do with their bmx products? that will save the end user some money for sure. i'm really digging the frames. removable brakes kinda irk me but i guess it makes sense with the way the industry is now.

Thanks for the good words, guys. Yeah, there are def some mixed feelings on removable mounts. But, I figure it's best to have the option. I run brakeless sometimes and I like having a clean look... but I also want to be able to put my brakes back on when I need them.

LOL at the hagerty... I don't think I can do that!

The plan as of right now is to sell them direct through our website. We'll set up a paypal account and it should be a simple click and order process. We'll have more details once we get the website going.
