oh my, I'm thinking of putting the custom s&m i've not had for long to one side and getting a custom Standard.
They will kick ass with the new stuff for sure.

Another level.
It'll be interesting to see how S&M responds.
-
was just about to bung all this up! beaten to it!
i don't think i really need say anything on how i feel about these products!
in relation to 'how will S&M respond'
i have to fully admit that they got there first and it is standard that is responding. my LTF was the most beautiful frame i have ever seen but my heart didn't belong! i can now buy something equally as beautiful (if not more) from the company i've had a love affair with for 12 years
-
Why is anyone shocked? Yet again Standard show how it should be done! Always have , always will.

True. Standard has been pretty quiet for a while and S&M had stolen a march on Standard, so I guess this is Standard getting back up to speed. But I'm sure S&M will be plotting the next move already.
Standard and S&M definitely the two companies that all other rider owned BMX companies aspire to be compared to.

mike,
you are there already doing the british designed product.
your ti frames will be classics.
4130 is where my heart is...................

Thanks for the props, Sutty. I've got a long way to go before I can be held in such esteem as S&M and Standard though. Those guys are a decade ahead of me.
My biggest enemies are lack of time cos I only do dialled bikes in my spare time and lack of funding. But I try my best to run dialled bikes for the right reasons - i.e. cos I'm passionate about riding and want to make a positive contribution to the sport.

in the words of chazz michael michaels
"ohhhhhhh me likey!"
if i ever convinced myself that i would ever need a bmx frame again....
-
mike your frames are sweet very nice and look and from what ive been told a must have frame set
if i did race i would be having one that is a definite, all along the lines of a standard :daumenhoch:
this is one of the first new standards out of the states,picked it up from james hitchcox
for a mate jay mills "hardcore hobbies"
a story now belongs with this as i gave gary forsyths good lady a lift back from rom at the old fools roads trip, i had to do a quick unload to get her in the truck ,so i unloaded the box out to get my bike in the back and then drove off ,stopped at the gate to pick up alex and steve wilson then walked up to me saying "do you want this" handing me the box i had left up against the fence :idiot2: thanks steve i owe you one.

Yeah - Steve told me about that back at the pub! That would have been a nightmare! Thanks for giving Aileen a lift back and I'm soooo glad it didn't end in tears!

I was really looking forward to seeing the new standard stuff. I love any quality made bike parts and there is no doubt that standard have that special 'something' to make them more than just another bike company. Havin said that, Im not to sure about the new stuff, esp those forks. Sure, they look good but would you wanna ride them hard? There aint much metal left on um

Is Hitchcox riding them?
-
the forks with all the cutouts are race forks as are the frames.
the street /ramp /vert frames are etched not cut out and hitchcox is getting one made special
ricks one is 4.19LB
-
i am ledto believe there is a new heat treating process coming to the surface that is now enabling super light frames to be built but still maintaining plenty of strength, unlike the wafer thin frames of the norm at the moment, these new frames are still being made with thin tubing but heat treated better to give more integral strength. hopefully be finding out more on this process at the end of the week (fingers crossed). to buy the patents for this process isn't cheap either and only a handful of companies will be using it. hence a 4lb street/ramp frame like ricks!
more news soon......... but not from standard!!!
i'll keep you all posted
Sounds intriguing....I may be in the market for a new frame soon....
