A few days ago we saw the sensationally light UK Bike Co frame which
was supposed to weight only 1550g. Low or very low frames seem to be
getting more and more popular in BMX. It's not so long ago that I was
crying about the frame, that I wouldn't trust it. Maybe I was wrong as
Uk Bike is giving a life time warranty on them and the claimed weight
is correct as well.
The frame is not only very light but also has some very nice details.
It has an integrated seat clamp about which, i hope, they talked with
superstar. There is also the nicely formed end of the seat tube which
will make all pivotal-lovers happy.
Only problem: they only make 100 of them and with a price tag of around
350€ these will be gone very quickly.
Over all, a very interesting frame, willing to brake some norms which
maybe should be seen as the evolution of BMX. For my share, it will
take a little bit until I will get used to it.
