Eastern are a US based company that started during the mid school. They did the Hercules, as well as the Leigh Ramsdell Ace Of Spades.
The Reaper X though is the best frame they make. Pretty sure it’s Sanko Japanese steel and the build quality is as good as it gets.
Seriously if I speak that highly of a frame you know it’s good.
Problem for me is I just don’t have any room to even store just a frame now or I’d get one for sure.
A good few of the parts on my S&M are Eastern. Bars, headset and BB.

The Reaper X is or was a £500 frame.

The trouble is I don’t really want a new frame, so am continuing to resist the urge!

« Last post by Mikku on July 17, 2026, 05:17 AM »Still no racing to report on but at least I’m now riding again albeit just pedalling around my local park. Actually took the Redline out for a spin this morning, the first time to ride it since my crash and also since I had the Renthal bars trimmed 10mm either side. All felt good, though it’s still too painful to pull up on the bars, so I’ll have to wait a few more weeks to give everything a proper workout. Baby steps…but in the right direction.

There are some very tempting aka cheap Eastern frames for sale on eBay at the moment. The Grim Reaper X in particular is calling out to me!!

Given this is the last "rider" BMX I have (and will have) I decided to put proper tyres on it at the same time. Eastern had a mad sale on and the tyres were down from 30 quid a go to 9.99.
This is the wheel.
But I found the perfect alloy chain saver guard for it.
And the finished bike with new tyres.
