I'm with you on that Big Tube. Never seen one in the flesh but to me look pretty ugly in photos.


No surprise that you're not keen on things with big tubes though.

 :LolLolLolLol:

I suppose I should be running skinny tyres on all my builds  :2funny:

For me, it has to be the leader in late 70s and early 80's UK BMX racing, so many legends came from this shop...





Thanks to Ratty and Delray68 for the pic above!

Features like the gusset, braze welding, box brake mount and angled rear dropouts were ahead of any other UK frame builder at the time  :daumenhoch:

One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.
