Any company wants as much of their chosen market as they can get thats business and I have no doubt any uk bmx company would love to have sold as many frames as dibly has,I certainly wasn't suggesting that he has done anything immoral.I was interested thats all, if it has offended anyone than I apologize as it was not intended.

its a bit dusty at the mo after being laid up for years so will get some up tomoz, the alloys still need a little work but going to wait till the weather is better till i get them done
a brief description about my heat treatment is samurai swords, beaten and folded metal over and over again, so it is not a brand new heat treatment its has been around for hundreds of years just never used on anything else but after heated is put into a airless vaccume to allow to cool with out air
iv just finished my classic car rolled it out of the garage after a year of slog on it today going to book mot for it tomoz, i post some pics up soonstarted first time too
think the main problem here is they don't have a magical heat treating process, they just have thinner tubes.
well my frames are made in the same factory with the same diameter tube sets as yours along with many other brands
for the record i think this thread has been very harsh on him to point of personal attack. in my oppionion you pays your money and takes your choice.....either buy one cos you like em....or don't cos you think they're rubbish and will break?for the few that have broken........the people have had new ones sent straight out......no questions asked, you can't get better than that can you? yes it's a shame that frames break.....but no one other than the owners know how they've treated that frame do they?
So the lack of photos is suspicious considering the incredibly huge percentage of frames shattering into millions of pieces!!
I hope I'm not getting dragged into this...
Is UK Bike Co independent or a sub-brand of some bigger company (i.e. like Charge being owned by Hotwheels)?
i still have the same amount of returns as when i first posted in this thread so all these so called frames thats have snapped havent been notified to me?!?! very strange if you ask me if i have laid cash out for something that broke i would be straight on the phone asking for a new one

Not really, not everybody is the sort of person to have 4000+ posts on an internet forum, or even post at all. This doesn't mean they didn't have a phone with a camera, more likely they were pissed off about their frame cracking or bending.I know of 3 that have cracked from before you posted that. Two from around the Southampton area and one from Guernsey. If they didn't reach you then they must have got lost in the mail but they were all definitely returned.I am not a fan.
OK thenMust have got lost in the post?, so 3 people independantly posted frames at a value £300 each, all 3 got lost, Hmmmmmm, Did they not take a picture, send it to UK to get a return authorised, Cos that is standard procedure,If not surely they would have gone back to the retailer wouldnt they, who would have taken a photo, if so then they would have a picture wouldn't they. So in summary, Bollox

Are they saving their Mobile phone storage for an impromptu happy slapping?Also these 3 frames were returned and the owners didn't take any pictures and at least posted them recorded delivery.How strange!!
So please post the pictures then!!
