anyone ever built a bmx frame from scratch?
i have often thought of doing this.
or modding an existing frame substantially. if i ever get hold of a TA frame i got some plans.

a mate of mine made one for a collage project in titanium,really nice looking frame,he called it ricky tickey tirvey,i think it was after something from jungle book who ate mongooses :idiot2:
-

Me and my dad repaired my ACE frame by replacing the front triangle, I extended the front end by 2". The best bit was the tubing I used I nicked from some old school desks. It rode reasonable well, but the metal sadly lacked the qualities of cro mo and I snapped it 3 months later..... :-[

i did lots of mods when i was at school my metal work teacher was ace :daumenhoch:
