You can go to any BMX site and get the geometry of their frames. But I would seriously buy one, the guys that build frames here in the United States are small companies of good dudes that I would support rather then rip off their specs. Get a FBM frame, those guys are nice dudes and serious business when it comes to BMX http://www.fbmbmx.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 yea i can weld that, i welded some for a windmill type thing project. it didnt work but that beside the point. it was easy to weld haha. and yea, i know i should be supporting them but money is a HUGE issue right now. there a million things i need to buy that i cant make. so why not make the things i need to buy and can make. and that just happens to be bike frames. think about it, people dont buy brand name markers, they steal kiwi mops and make their own ink.

R@ndomH3ro Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 yeah, but markers are made by big corporations, were some bmx companies are just a handful of dudes that really like to build frames and like the sport...know what I mean?

shai Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 SE does that on most of their loopback frames. It's just decorative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acer910 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 it messes up the flow of the bike to me... it looks like a factory took a grease pen and marked it with the pallet number or whatever in the warehouse and didnt take it off.

R@ndomH3ro Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 if you are worried about how your bike looks...then bmx aint for you.

shai Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I rode an OM recently...it's pretty nice, the price is hard to beat ($750) and it seems like it would handle a basket well. The next bike I get is going to be a basket bike, so I don't think the 29" would be the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 get out whatchyu sayin?? its a 29er, with better brakes, thats lighter, probly stronger and most likely cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
