making a frame

[theRuler]

anyone ever built a bmx frame from scratch?

i have often thought of doing this.

or modding an existing frame substantially. if i ever get hold of a TA frame i got some plans.

a mate of mine made one for a collage project in titanium,really nice looking frame,he called it  ricky tickey tirvey,i think it was after something from jungle book who ate mongooses

Me and my dad repaired my ACE frame by replacing the front triangle, I extended the front end by 2". The best bit was the tubing I used I nicked from some old school desks. It rode reasonable well, but the metal sadly lacked the qualities of cro mo and I snapped it 3 months later.....

i did lots of mods when i was at school my metal work teacher was ace

Rikki Tikki Tavi was a Mongoose who fought Cobras
