Hey! I ride 26" mtb, but i like the feel of a bmx better for park riding. So, im planning on building up a BMX over the summer. Now, coming from mtb, i dont know much at all about BMX, so im looking for ideas on a frame to start with. Im NOT looking for complete bikes, because i already have some parts stocked up. Anyways, please post some ideas on a good, not beginner, BMX frame. Im on a medium budget, and since the frame is most important i dont really wanna cheap out on it.

Please post frame kinds, general specs and a CAN $ price. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I had a sunday first gen (dunno if you remember it). I sold it recently, but before that I had a macneil team issue, and the Sunday just blew it away. 21" TT, Sunday OG. If you can find one used and mint do it. Otherwise, I recommend any other sunday.

Get a fit frame like mine its not the best you can buy but its no where near a begginer very light (if properly put together with good parts) and not the most exspensive.

Bicycle Type BMX
Sugg Retail $329.99 for complete bike probly could buy frame for around 150-100 used
Weight just guessing... probly around 4-5 pounds
Sizes 21", one size fits all
Colors White, Teall

Frame:
Frame Construction TIG-welded
Frame Tubing Material 4130 chromoly

I agree with this person. (This message approved by...me).

Seriously though, good recommendations, S&M make some nice frames.

+1! haha.

Theres so many "which frame threads" and everytime i post i do the same old thing, its getting annoying but ill do it again.

Pick out a frame considering three main things tt size, weight, and price give us a small list and we'll tell you what we think.
DansComp Frame Selection (in other words CLICK ME.)

There have been some good companies listed but ill give a list of who i prefer personally.

-S&M (i ride the LTF its amazing)
-Fly
-Mutiny
-Sunday (your going to hear sunday suggestions the most)
-Federal

Good luck man.
