bmx frame

[ibbruiser]

i was thinking about getting the blackeye killorado frame
http://www.danscomp.com/211463.php 20.25 tt for me cuz i dont like the feel of 21
the only complaint i have heard is that then it will be a scooter bike but since i scooter i dont care.
im pretty sure the strength will be fine since im riding a grim reaper now.

also how do you get brakes on brake less frame. i cant remember. something to do with the seat tube right

what have you guys heard and what do ya think about it

 

[Steezeman]

I will hate you forever if you get that frame Sean.

 

[ibbruiser]

i knew you would but what do you have against it.

besides your getting rid of your bike!

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah, I can still hate on people for things they have and I don't!

 

[Taylor Mefford]

Thats mad trendy/ugly/stupid. Get it!

 

[harleydude32295]

u cant put brakes on a brakless frame unless it has a whole in the small tube btween the seatstays and i woodnt get tht frame

 

[tryit]

yeah the frame is trendy as *** it will go up to your knees if that

 

[Steezeman]

To actually answer your question, if you really wanna put a caliper brake on you can drill a hole in the seat stay bridge (depending on what the bridge is, you can if it's a tube, I dunno if it's a plate deal) but they won't work very well.

dang thats a shame cuz i think im going to get it.
a kid is giving me 200 plus another freecoaster hub for my frame. so i can afford it.
and if i change my mind before i buy it dans has a sale on a sputnic frame for 200

 

[Steezeman]

Get the Sputnic.

 

[ibbruiser]

yeah i would really like to try a killorado first.
i have my old haro frame still so i can ride while i think about it.
ill try brakeless again and see if i like it. thats basically all that is making this decision hard.

 

[tryit]

you can get this frame with brake mounts

just wondering, why do they call it a scooter bike? is is like shorter than reg frames or what?

 

[Josh Young]

yea it has a "low profile" the seat is at like knee level almost. its just suppppper short. so you can like get you legs over the frame better and my friend lars says its better for like tables and inverts. but hes shorter so that frame fits him good. idk just look at the difference between this and a normal frame.

They're making fun of it because the top tube is super low and almost considered "cheating". Also, some people run their bikes with no sprocket and no chain, so you have to push with you feet instead of pedaling. That's also considered a scooter bike.
