The Special Heat Treament probably isn't special. Its probably just something that hasn't been used to make bikes before and is therefore special in terms of BMX.

a brief description about my heat treatment is samurai swords, beaten and folded metal over and over again, so it is not a brand new heat treatment its has been around for hundreds of years just never used on anything else but after heated is put into a airless vaccume to allow to cool with out air

well there you go, I stand corrected, Dibly has a new to BMX method of treating his metal, I don't understand the science of the cooling without air in a vacuum, but there it is in black and white.

ps: i reckon i mentioned my bike once.

Dunno mate. I think you'd be hard pushed to find another brand that had sold 1000 frames in 6 months.

lodge · « **Reply #204 on:** February 05, 2009, 10:11 AM »

Its certainly an impressive figure in a short space of time cant argue with that, wonder how its affecting other uk bmx companys? also with the value of sterling and the fact that most bmx gear is manufactured overseas they must be struggling.
Does anyone know how many of the 1000 units were sold to the uk market?

i think you'd be hard pushed to find any company thats shifted 1000 frames in 6 months!

i don't believe this until i see an invoice.

pickle · « **Reply #207 on:** February 05, 2009, 10:48 AM »

to be fair....every shop i went into that were selling them, had sold out of all the frames and were taking orders for more. Dibly is a sound guy and i have no reason to not believe him.

for the record i think this thread has been very harsh on him to point of personal attack. in my oppionion you pays your money and takes your choice.....either buy one cos you like em....or don't cos you think they're rubbish and will break?

for the few that have broken........the people have had new ones sent straight out......no questions asked, you can't get better than that can you? yes it's a shame that frames break.....but no one other than the owners know how they've treated that frame do they?

dibly, I am sure you are getting all the relevent paperwork together and hurriedly making travel arrangements to go and stand before a scottish bmx court to defend yourself in order that you may hold your head high and gain the seal of approval that must be missing from your business life, but before you go up there.....

Keep at it mate, you done good and will continue to do so

is dibly now to blame for the recession?

i've never had a bike company but do bike companies consider how their sales affect other bike companies and limit sales so that other companies don't suffer?

i really don't understand the relevence of the quoted above, at all

if i have totally misunderstood, then i do apologize $:-\$

i need some chocolate ,the leaves in the garden need tidying again.
hmm now did i turn the lights of in the workshop ..best i go look.

JT71 · « **Reply #217 on:** February 05, 2009, 05:49 PM »

it's an odd one that, it's a new product, people that bought them might not have gotten a new frame had these not been released so i doubt it has affected sales of other companies.
ie if uk hadn't sold a 1000 frames it wouldn't mean that the other companies would have sold a 1000 extra between them, more likely a 1000 peeps would still ride their old frames.

how ever those 1000 frame had to be kitted out so retailers probably sold more parts.

Gordon Brown is to blame ofr the recession (depression?)

I wasn't blaming dibly for the recession I was simply making the point that survival of uk bmx companys was difficult prior to the value of sterling falling so survival now must be even more difficult that the uk is in recession and with the addition of ukbikeco who appear to have cleaned up the uk frame market I was simply interested how the other uk bmx companys are fairing. Any company wants as much of their chosen market as they can get thats business and I have no doubt any uk bmx company would love to have sold as many frames as dibly has,I certainly wasn't suggesting that he has done anything immoral.
I was interested thats all, if it has offended anyone than I apologize as it was not intended.
