That's a sweet looking frame.

The small brace tube looks familiar though... do you know what company did that before? I'm not setting you up... I honestly don't remember...

What's it weigh, Jay?

S&M4Life · 2009-03-30 6:17pm

I like it. I give you props just for thinking outside the box and making it look different with that cross tube on the bottom!

Immortis · 2009-03-30 6:17pm

You doing forks too... or starting with just the frame for now?

Price for frame?

What's the metal? Made in the US?

Do you only plan on making Race Frames? Do you have any plans to make a Street/Park frame? Flatland Frame? Forks? I'm excited that they'll be another American made company out there...Thanks Jay I wish you the best!

x50crackerjack · 2009-03-30 6:29pm

Jay that is AAAAAAwesome
I have to have one in the raw
what size BB is that?

jayoldmanbmx · 2009-03-30 6:29pm

also i will admit profile was one of my faveorite bikes in the 80s i did race them for at least 5 years and back in the day had a little love from the profile guys but it no way copees them in anyway infact tube placement was carefully discussed and researched to not copy

jayoldmanbmx · 2009-03-30 6:30pm

there is going to be an option for b.b. size what do you want

Rake · 2009-03-30 6:32pm

I like the Spanish/mid BB personally...1" or 1 1/8" headset?

jayoldmanbmx · 2009-03-30 6:32pm

after the release of the race frame a street skate park frame will be in the works as well as handlebars i have not begun to research forks yet but i will i am taking one step at a time and also i want to point out i am funding this myself no bank loans and no partners so i have to be carefull and do it right.. but i am going to take pride in what i do with the co. and treat it as i do my current biz

halsencrew · 2009-03-30 6:33pm

The frame is very nice:) I like the 2 cross bars I know the one looks familiar but so what it looks sweet, The cross bar on the rear triangle is bad a s s and the drop outs look pretty good too. Its like old school racer with newser ctyle stuff. I would like one but would never afford it:( but I send the best of luck to you on the journey of selling these :lol:Im sure they will sell as soon as you get them tested and prove they are stout. :PLater bro:rolleyes:
