Welds are beautiful, and the tolerances are damn near perfect! These things are built well. If you're thinking about getting one, the bars are sweet too. Hit up dcbmx1. He can give you the low down, and hook you up.

Re: L + S frames ?
L + S stands for Lucia and Sons. Yet, he fabricated the early Pattersons, Panda Pro Ams, his own company Boss, and L + S Creation now. USA made 4130 Chromoly. Rare to have a pioneer from the 1970s still making stuff today.
I have L+S Creation products available. Carlo Lucia (the guy behind Oakland Boss) is welding handlebars, frames and forks again. USA made products. Please inquire for products and prices.

Re: L + S frames ?
They shred. Felt i had too much and tried to set mine free for a while, but now it's at the powder coaters (finally).
Found that cooks spider!!! Now how about a beat national pro or whitebear cruiser or panda 26 pro-am raider for a new restore project.

Re: L + S frames ?
I go to the Santa Clara and Manteca BMX tracks with my L+S 20 and 24 although I have newschool bikes.

Going to try to get the 24 freestyle one built very soon.

huh ? more like a chain ring or something cool . out of respect thats the least i can do. most of everyone has helped out given advice and info. if anything i have over analyzed and over thought my buys.
maybe i should look into organizing a cruise and raise some flow for cancer. i beat it so i gotta pay back too. maybe get together and do some races and rides around town. they finished the waterfront nice place to shred it on bikes or boards. also have skate park too.

Just a little joke. Old band called Slint is from Louisville. Sorry it was a bit obscure. Glad your healthy and riding (if your not always crashing like me) is a great way to stay that way. Keeps me moving for sure. L+S are very nice and you will be pretty stoked with one if you go that route.
