I was just considering buying a custom FBM and the thought that they care more about how much a powdercoat weighs by listing it rather than the tubing thickness of the main tubes, which is a MORE important property for a frame, then FBM has no credibility AND integrity as a BMX freestyle frame manufacturer.<br /><br />Oh well, Solid is more deserving of money from people who know about what they REALLY want - reliability,credibility, integrity without ANY marketing bollocks."<br /><br />Outrageous. The Solid dudes are definitely sweet and certainly deserve some business. So I'm offering to buy you a custom Solid frame.

To the point where bikes really were tanks. (And yes I made my share of heavy parts). <br /><br />It is easy enough to say "they're all roughly the same anyway" but if nobody cared about weight (again) they soon wouldn't be.<br /><br />4 or 5 ounces for paint is a lot, you cant dismiss it like it is trivial. To get even 1 ounce off a frame without sacrificing some strength is a big achievement and paint adds no strength at all (although arguably a lack of paint could lead to corrosion and weakening obviously). Surely it is more ludicrous that we are making frames with thinner and thinner tubes to save weight when we are still adding 5% extra on top for a decorative coating? Why is it more acceptable to care about the colour of the bike than the weight?<br /><br />(I assume) FBM posted a weight without paint, because they had a frame without paint, so they weighed it and posted it, you can then compare it to other frames without paint, many of which have been posted in the past by other co's) without any mention that the paint is going to add weight to the finished product...gsport georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070707288565019602noreply@blogger.com
