totalBMX first product available is this seat which mark inspired after making a home made one for competition in the Dew Tour in the states.
This is our first product since being in business a year and a bit, we have a small budget mainly my own money(which isn't much)
despite the crap that people have said about me and Marks company, we are sole owners and have no backers.We are determined to get things correct as we cant afford problems.
Our frames are 4.65lbs and fully heat treated and made where Colony /volume/simple frames are made so were in good company.
The frames will be available in 4 months which takes us to pretty much 18 months from design ,drawings, testing to the market place.
it has been a steep learning curve and we finally have the products we set out to create, people are making frames similar weight to our own without the use of heat treating but it does add cost but so what better safe than sorry.
This is why it has taken us sooooo fecking long to release, we just haven't had the cash.
Well anyway here is our first product, please buy a few so we can look to order our next items.
And also my missus gave me hell of a look when she got home and saw the boxes of seats all over the dining room:)
We only have 80 of these left for sale (only 100 exist at this point)
follow the link to our store if you'd like one.
i couldn't add a pic to this post as im pretty dumb.so hit the link to see.

Cool as.

Dont know fook all about new stuff, so this might sound dumb, but does pivotal mean it'll fit me (very occasional) rider?-

Never been that happy with the seat thats on it at the mo.

M5AT · « **Reply #13 on:** May 30, 2010, 01:42 AM »

Bummer!

I'll have to stick the really fookin, dead un-comfy lightning bolt back on then.

Cheers dude

Eggy
im serious what i wrote on that envelope dude!!ha
Those days when the like of you and Clagget were around were sicko years, it will never be like that again.
Thanks to all you guys for the support and for purchasing a seat, were trying to get all the UK riders in dew tour to be riding one .
Thing is Bestwick likes an arm chair as they are better for barspins

otherwise id have sent him one too.
Things are gathering a bit of pace now and once we have everything out there im looking to make a grown ups frame, as at current i cant ride the 2 frames as they were designed by new school foot jam frenzy park/mini riders. Though in fairness they are quite good(webbie/Alex coleborn)
I will probs make a ltd batch of 50 frames when money allows to suit the larger rider as i am just over 6ft and i cant ride a tiny back end and low stand over frame as that sucks on Vert.
Any ideas of what you guys would like regards geometry etc, names for the frame??
Retro sticker set etc?
Cheers
Remo.
Sorry for slow reply, i actually struggle just to post summit on here.
P.S thanks to the dude for posting the pic on the thread as html is way over my head

Nooooo Retro sticker set - it needs to be new school Ronnie!

Geometry-wise, I would say something nice n stable, but with a slight shorter back end to give it a bit of nimbleness.

74.5 Headtube
71 Seattube
13.66 (Slammed) rear end with 1/2" adjustment
11.5" BB height
8.9" Step over

Top tube...hmmmmmm 21.1 & 20.75 should cover the bases.

Good luck with it all Ronnie. Test, test and re-test...don't make the mistakes of UK Bike Co...but then, you know that, you were there. (that's not a dig at you BTW!)

Oh, and get Paul Meacher on team to start flying the UK Vert scene again! You know it makes sense.
