Federal Bikes – Anthony Perrin Signature Perrin ICS Frame

March 29, 2018

Federal Bikes have released full details on the new Anthony Perrin signature Perrin ICS Frame!

“The brand new Perrin signature frame has been completely redesigned with a shorter rear end which is 12.9” slammed. This frame is also the first to feature the new investment cast (ICS) chain stay wishbone to allow better clearance for wide tyres. The frame has also been updated to include IC dropouts, seat clamp and seat stay bridge. This frame also features all new graphics by @rich.forne” – Federal Bikes

The Perrin ICS frame is made from full 4130 chromoly tubing with a 75.2-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.8″ bottom bracket height, 8.9″ standover height and a 12.9″ (slammed) chainstay length. You can find an integrated head tube, top and down tube gussets with an embossed logo on the downtube gusset, Mid bottom bracket, integrated seat post clamp, tapered seat and chainstays with an Investment Cast Chainstay wishbone that looks amazing (photo below), 5mm dropouts and removable brake mounts and guides on the seat stay.

The ICS frame will be available in this translucent blue and brown in 20.75″ and 21″ top tube lengths and weighs in at 5.3 lbs. The frame should be landing at BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Federal Bikes worldwide soon, if not already by the time you’re reading this.

How awesome does the investment cast chainstay wishbone look? We have a feeling we’ll be seeing more frames adopting this in the very near future.

Gussets on the top and down tubes for increased strength.

Removable brake mounts on the seat stay, curved bridge for extra tire clearance and an integrated seat post clamp!

How good does that blue look?
