Frame & Forks - Those Quirky Design Features That You Love

(1/8) > >>

Ok, so with the endless amount of race and freestyle framesets that have been designed over 40 odd years, what are those features that you love?

For me:

The rear end of the top tube on the GT Pro, and then later the slanted cut with the stamped 4130 that also appeared on Performers.

The rear triangle on Robinson's where they look like they would be a loopy, but actually have agap between the 2 tubes.

Skyway Streetbeat frames in general.

The etched Hutch brake bridge's.

Welds on Rippers.

They're just the ones I can remember for now.

For me it's the triangular box above the rear stays and brake bridge on mk1 and Mk2 Geese. Love it..... reminds me of really early bmx's when I was a lad and looks like they were knocked together in a garden shed out of stuff lying about in the 70's  ;D

The brazing on MRD's is awesome as well :daumenhoch:

Bottema forks and Landing Gear forks are instantly recognisable too  :coolsmiley:

Yeah, obviously the Quad is an amazing design, but I'm not looking for a 'top of the pops', it's more of a looking for particular detail that people like. You may not even particularly like the bike.

Platforms, wishbones, headtube & down/toptube gussets, oval tubing & snake chain/seatstays do it for me  :daumenhoch:
