well i know of one frame i would deffo use as a template in a super lite tubing setup and i posted it to you about 1 month ago   ;)

Like the idea, when i found BMX again last autumn, couldn't understand why big boys were not doing it themselves? Biggest question for me would it be deemed old school legal?

Always loved chrome bitd, never had anything but, in terms of brakes, just discovered Pit bulls (came out after i gave up as a kid), best stopping power i've every felt.

Good on yer Steve, nice idea, and looking at the quality of your builds i'm sure anything you do will be absolutely detail perfect!

generallee:
thanks magoo! Yep, im thinking maybe old school legal, at least have one frame/fork for that purpose, then possibly a 1.1/8" / ad990 /internal headset  version for cruising and riding with all the benefits of new technology.
Anyway, any more thoughts, please let me know!

mr.magoo:
Loads of different personal preferences out there, I'm sure alot of us are riding what we can afford or what is available, rather than what we would actually like to ride, for me it'd be my old TA, but probably too short now-adays, and definately too expensive!

My personal preferences are loop tail, decent length front end, geometry that allows front up at the slightest touch, turns on a dime in berms but is stable in the air, (think to get that lot together is probably a mathematical impossibility), then, cos i'm still in '86 in BMX terms, dayglo orange cables, lever protectors bottom bracket boots, grips etc.....

pull all that out at an affordable price, and i think there is a whole market to be exploited out there with the impact of the olympics and more Dad's wanting to give it another go....especially with old school prices rocketing and availability being rare!
