Minor Details: BMX Frames

June 24, 2015

kink-sxtn-seat-stay-bmx-frame

When it comes to BMX frames these days, there are a lot of factors that come down to geometry that can alter the way a BMX bike feels and rides. Want to have more balance on your nose? Get a steeper head tube angle. Want to spin better? Get a higher bottom bracket height. Want to manual better? Get a shorter chain stay length. Need something better for barspins? Get something with a taller standover height. What about tailwhips? Shorter standover heights will make it easier to get over the bike. Now days, a 75-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 8.5″ standover height, 11.5″ bottom bracket height and 13.25″ chain stay length are pretty common geometries you will find on a frame. Sure, there might be a handful of frames that have similar (or the exact same) geometry, but what makes them different than the others? The “minor details” that are added on to a frame to give it an aesthetic touch, add strength or make for a cleaner fit when parts are installed. There are A LOT of frame options these days, so we decided to cruise around a handful of BMX brands websites to check out a few frames that have some details that make it stand out from other frames. Let’s take a look!

Sneak Peek: Fly Bikes – Geo Frame

flybikes-geo-frame-bmx-2016

Fly Bikes have been dropping some sneak previews of their 2016 product range that will be dropping later this year. We got a look at their Tractor XL and Tractor Sprockets and the Fly Bikes X Etnies Tripod seat. Now we get a good look at their new Geo team frame that will be dropping later this year. There wasn’t much detail given, but based off the photos we’re seeing it looks like they have decided to go with gussets on the top and down tubes, a seat stay that some of you older guys might recognize from the Three Amigos frame, traditional removable brake mounts versus the Easy Brake System they use on their frames now and chain tensioners that run through the drop out. You can get a good look at the seat stay and drop outs after the jump!
