I have one that is supposed to be on the way from planetbmx...but, I need to contact them as it's been awhile. I got the 26" in clear coat.

 

[BentRims]

Did you really order that? Awesome! that will be a high end build for sure

 

[RustyGold]

I really did!

The thing about the Clear Fame-set, is no matter what color you run with it'll be the Bomb! Blue Wheelset? Red? Gold, Black or just Chrome/Polished silver?

Good news! Electron microscopes can't see color, all the images have been colorized, so you get to colorize that beauty however you want.

True...but that isn't an image from a electron microscope...it's an artists rendition .

An artist's rendition of what, exactly?

 

[RustyGold]

A covid cell.

Looks similar to the wtp avenger frame although this is high tensile. Nice welds too,

 

[RustyGold]

Both inspired by the Cook Brothers' Cruisers of ye olde yesteryear.

 

[JA331]

Agreed although i am not sure on the frame size of the Cook bros cruiser but it seems the s&m and avenger are smaller with a seat tube length of 14".

 

[RustyGold]

Cook's was 17.625" bitd. The newer full chromo WTP 27.5 Avenger is, I think, around 18.875". The S&M and 26" Avengers aren't reproductions, they are tributes...and they are both after that Cook's look, but with 'modern geo'. Modern geo in layman's terms for 26" bmx is roughly copying OM Flyer geometry...so, 14-15" seat tube.

 

[JA331]

Thanks. What effect does the modern geometry have?

 

[RustyGold]

I mock 'modern geo' because it really makes little difference to me, but if you hang out on BMXMuseum for any length of time they will have you convinced that it is like Popeye cracking open a can of spinach compared to Old School. With the shorter rear end, they tend to wheelie easier...but for me, the real advantages are trouble free threadless headset, stems, and sealed bearing cranks.

 

[JA331]

Thanks. I’m 6’2 and need the leg room. Not into the long seat post look. I got the red avenger for a steal just for the bits. The sealed bearings and cranks are now in my 51 schwinn.
