who is fabricating these? the seatube/toptube junction looks very Kappa-esque

Arguably, the best hand fabricator in the business - Greg Melms of Melms Designs. His quality and workmanship is second to none. His welds are incredibly clean and uniform. We stress relieve all tubing for added strength and then wash them to achieve a better finish.

Kappa? Not even close.

This is pure CW Racing heritage. In the 1980s, Revcore was the sister company of CW Racing. Essentially, CW Racing became Revcore. It had a line of BMX racing frame sets and components that were renowned for the highest quality standards.  That junction design was a hallmark of Revcore frame sets in the second half of the 1980s.

So, our current designs incorporate elements of both CW Racing and Revcore.

I know of Greg, awesome fabricator and very innovative, maybe get him to design/build a CW new schooler?

That's the plan but we're taking one step at a time and making sure we do things right. The next project is a 2011 Mike Buff California Freestyle Kit.

We're only making 50 of the Hollywood Mike Miranda ZX Race Kits.

I have to admit I cannot wait to see the new school race version, really interested to see new school CW bars.

Mmm, not strictly true Martin about being sister companies, Revcore was the name of the CW hubset (rev-core, geddit)? and when Roger Worsham had to close CW down in 1987 he used the Revcore name to launch a replacement brand for CW but leaving behind the taiwanese products that got him into trouble and focusing on quality USA built products. Charles Townsend won no1 pro that year and hardly got a picture in BMXA as CW owed Wiz pubs a chunk of cash when they folded, so they would not give them coverage. However, very true that Revcore were renowned for stress relieved quality products that were very well regarded.

P.S. Say hi to Hollywood from me.

True, I snapped my CW cruiser bars when gating; the Revcore bars that replaced them lasted until I retired

Hey Clive, great to see a factory Revcore rider here.

By sister company I was trying to highlight that Roger Worsham was the father of both CW Racing and Revcore. Here's a small editorial in a 1988 issue of BMX Action:



Here's a shot of Todd Lyons from the same issue:

my black  re- issue padset landed today,only took a week,awesome stuff

[waza04]

liking the look of some of this stuff...........  so the $800 frame sets are actually £500 in our money! 

[DoubleD]

dont forget tax 

[nosepickben]

Wow, first i've heard about this. Great to see the stuff you've got made, been a fan of cw stuff since the 80's (except the awful bars - shame they're so iconic  )
Anyone with knowledge can see that they are not originals but who cares, like you say, it's collectors stuff. Might shoot up the value of my '85 Z3X !!
Keep us updated with new releases matey.....

Now those frames are quality, its been a long time since I saw a deep chrome finish like that. Price is an issue here, for me anyway, living in Ireland in the deep depths of a recession... Still I can dream of the day when I take delivery of one of those frame-sets hmmm.
