Also, I almost built an EK tribute using a Failure A Muerte frame, I think it would be an appropriate frame for a build, take a look at one.

P.S.
Why did HOFFMAN BIKES change to HOFFMAN DISTRIBUTION???

I believe (but not really sure) after the deal with Pacific Cycle ended he changed it up and started doing his own distribution. During the PC time part of the deal was that he was using their distribution network. I'm not sure if the name change had anything to do with the court proceedings against them or not.

I'll message Matt and ask because now I'm curious...lol

Beast finding a NS Condor frame will prove very difficult.
Really? Are they scarse?
What frame do you think would be cool?
Yeah, they've been hard to find for a couple years now. How about a midschool Condor from 96-2003?

Yup, I know and was thinking about it.
I want something that has the EP TAIL TOPTUBE to mimic it, which it shares with the genuine EVEL frames..
handles like a STREETBEAT (quick steering), and has all the new school charateristics.
I like the idea of lighter new school compared to the TANK HEAVY EP..

Yes, I saw the SKAVENGER X-1 when he built it and it's part of my inspiration.

I looked at the 2009 Failure A Muerte frame..its a bit old for NEW SCHOOL..
I wanted something..that has a unique looking frame, like a bit of a platform or WISHBONE SEATSTAY area..something. That's why I thought about the ep, BD..
And again, I want it to handle like a BRONX BOBBER..super quick steering.
I always will love the way my STREETBEAT handles, and remember MAT rode that before the TA and at least part of that design went into building the HOFFMAN line.

STREETBEATBEAST · 2019-05-14 2:05pm

If HOFFMAN, "DISTRUBUTION" lol released a NEW SCHOOL ep..that probably hit the spot..but havent yet.
Would you guys say the OLD or NEW SCHOOL BIG DADDY would handle similar to a STREETBEAT? Quick steer?

Not sure how one handles but if you compare the old school Big Daddy to a Streetbeat it really looks like a refined design of the Streetbeat frame, definitely seems like a frame you'd like since your into the Streetbeats hardcore. Even the new BD frame you'd probably dig, it's up for pre order on a few sites.

The only thing the Big Daddy took from the Street Beat was the head tube gusset. It was just oversized on the Big Daddy.

Weren't you one of the guys that was responsible for designing the original BD?

It's still Hoffman bikes. I use Hoffman disto for selling stuff. There is no deal with pacific. I own Hoffman bikes 100% and always have. I'm just doing "Hoffman" on the new bikes.

I been seein that, but it's a limited release..wish there was a chrome option lol. The 19.75" TOPTUBE, does that help make it a quick, responsive steering bike?

Cool, Ok, ya when I went surfin for BIG DADDY info, I ended up on the HOFFMAN BIKES site and that confused me as I couldn't find "DISTRABUTION" anywhere.
