I've been talking to S&M for a while about getting a new frame. They are always very busy and I dont hear from them very often.
(They have real customers to deal with first.

)
Yesterday Stodgy sent me a photo he saw in Instagram a few weeks ago that I'd not seen.
Looks like everything I asked for is on there:

ATF frame,
Enclosed dropouts
Chainstay brake mounts (welded)
Pitchfork XLTs with brake mounts and enclosed dropouts

Cant wait for it to get here now

I tried to get this frame as "stock" as I could so I got a normal ATF lengh rear end (13.4"-13.875"). Its still a bit longer than most current frames so I thought I'd give it a go. There might be something in this short-back-end thing. Having said that, those dropouts look like they have a lot of movement in them so if I put the wheel at the back it might end up being 14" back end again anyway. I'll have to see when it gets here

It does look longer in the back, looks bloody nice whatever! Bet You can't wait to get Your hands on it

nice one Alex, keeping it raw?

Betty · « **Reply #8 on:** March 05, 2013, 06:14 PM »

Sweet

Coloured or raw?

Nice frame the ATF, often overlooked, don't see many of em about

fugazi · « **Reply #9 on:** March 05, 2013, 06:31 PM »

They sure are a nice frame

I've got a 20" t/t ATF I'm in the process of building up as a flat bike. I'd like an Intrikat but need to sell stuff to afford One!

mattuknc · « **Reply #10 on:** March 05, 2013, 07:44 PM »

That does look sweet.
Hopefully my very first S&M will arrive soon too!

I think this one is my 11th (main rider) S&M. So thats about one every 2 years.

What did you wanna get done Kev? The WTF frames are pretty low.

LENNY-LENTINI · « **Reply #18 on:** March 06, 2013, 02:58 PM »

'Ello Alex

Nice frame, think it could do with a bit of masking tape (the new Tin-Foil) tho' .

Do you think S&M would do a custom but with a 10" standover ?

They dont seem to mention standover in their custom section.

Thinking about trying to get a custom to look as close to a 90's Dirtbike as poss.

Any advice appreciated Top Man.

Keep the Faith. L

funker · « **Reply #19 on:** March 06, 2013, 03:45 PM »

Lenny, I reckon Total BMX could knock you one up as they could just weld 2 of their regular 5" standover's together??

Len - you should ask them to knock you up a special custom that takes an 18" rear wheel, that way you could really slam the back end and go for maximum tailwhippage

nice frame Alex btw

kev-s · « **Reply #21 on:** March 06, 2013, 06:40 PM »

no geo changes just want brake mounts on the wtf forks, maybe welded chainstay mounts and gyro tabs

the tabs are easy enough to do myself but the mounts id rather s&m did for warrenty reasons

you know my luck with brake mounts

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #22 on:** March 06, 2013, 08:45 PM »

Very nice Alex, but it ain't no FBM
