Crimson, Put everyone out of their misery. what sort of $$ did the frame set you back?

amazing bike, the sort of thing you would own if you didnt have to pay for it.

always wondered why BMX didnt go sliding dropouts and disc brakes.

That is amazing! Doesn't matter what type of bike. One has to admire the amount of time, money and dedication needed for something like this to come to life!

Awesome work!

I haven't even added it all up myself (partly out of fear) but the entire build is probably somewhere in the range of $7k-$8k with the frame equating for roughly half of the cost.

BMX played with mechanical discs back in the early 2000's but dropped it a couple of years later. I was recently told it was because the wheels were flexing which casued the rotors to move, but I haven't been able to confirm this (and so far mine aren't flexing).

I actually have no idea.

When I picked it up I was so excited I forgot to through it on the scales and I haven't been near a set of scales since.

My guess would be low 8's, I'd be absolutely over the moon if it dropped into 7's.

Smooth is probably the best way to describe it. Haven't had so much grip from so little pressure before.

Haven't had to rip them on in an emergency yet, but pretty sure it saved me from going ass up earlier in the week when I started to slip on some loose gravel in a berm.
