STANDARD BYKE COMPANY “BUILD YOUR DREAM FRAME” DESIGN COMPETITION

Have you ever wanted to “blend” the attributes of your favorite BMX bikes together (front end from one, middle section from another, and your own idea for an innovative rear end) to make the perfect “dream” frame? Well, one way or the other...here is your chance.

Standard Byke Company is giving VintageBMX.com Site Supporters the chance of a lifetime—to concept and realize their dream frame. Dream big, get picked, and you’ll be riding it before you know it.

TO ENTER: Develop a concept (you can use pencil & paper, CAD, or just describe it in this thread—illustrations or CAD highly preferred), and post it in this thread.

HOW THE WINNER IS CHOSEN: On September 1, six finalists will be chosen from all entries, and the community will vote on the best design to be produced from September 2 – 9.

SUBMISSIONS SHOULD INCLUDE:
Primary Purpose: Race, Freestyle, Flatland, Trails, etc.
Design Facets: Looptail, double diamond, etc.
Geometry: Top tube length, BB height and style, all tube sizes, angles, etc..
Finish: Color(s) or Chrome

ONE SUBMISSION PER MEMBER, PLEASE, so give it your best shot!

If you have any questions as to production constraints or shop capabilities, please address it in this thread.


Rules.

1. Real designs only. Nothing crazy like a lowrider tandem, or “science fiction-fantasy” concepts like a twisted square tube.

2. Winning design will be chosen based on originality, the design’s feasibility to go from sketch to steel, and the production capabilities of Standard Byke Co.'s shop.

3. Open to VINTAGEBMX.COM SITE SUPPORTERS only. Site supporters help keep Vintage going and growing, and it’s only $35yr.
Not a site supporter? Sign Up Here

4. Production will take 6-8 weeks from the date selected.

You're already working on my dream build

[nvmyslowride]

SACK, you must have some crazy ideas somewhere!!!! think hard buddy!!!

[nvmyslowride]

Here is my post


Due to the SBC - SACRED BROTHERHOOD OF THE COBRA


I would start with the classic SBC 125, then at the head tube, I would do 2 1980's style gussets(LIKE ON OUR CUSTOM 26'' IN THE SHOP) , with just a "R" cut out in them. In the back where the old 80's bikes had the brake bridge, like where it said (hutch) exc. I would have lazer cut out of steel the letters SVT and welded in there as a brace and for looks. Bike would be done in Ford 1993 Cobra red. 1993 cobra emblem decals on the bike, the rear deck lid decals on the down tubes, 5.0 in chrome on the top tube. With the SBC cobra decal on the seat tube. Ford oval emblem decals on the forks, but with SBC and not ford in them. may have the drop outs redone with another design in them, who knows.


All of this since I am a ford guy, and a Mustang Cobra lover. and where do you think the SBC cobra came from.

Stay true to the COBRA!!!!!

Pics later I am at work so i cant post pics!!!!!


Nothing crazy, just my dream bike or one of them!!!!

BUILD 3 OF EACH NORMAL COBRA BIKES IN RED, TEAL AND BLACK, AND DO THIS 1 ® MODEL LIKE FORD FOR A LIMITED RUN? HMMMMMMM

Very cool, I love that style

[knowayback]

Bloody'ell, so exited about this comp!
I've wanted a custom Standard for so damn long....
Can't imagine i'd win cos my dream frame really isn't that creative, but what the hell; tis worth a go.
Basically what I dream of (literally sometimes!) is a XXXL STA frame cos i'm 6'6".

Primary Purpose:
Freestyle - primarily street

Design Facets:
Pierced top tube STA style design
Triple gusset!
True Temper OX Platinum tubing (of course!)
Integrated & SBC engraved head tube
Mid BB
No brake mounts, cable guides or gyro holes

Geometry:
Head tube angle: 74.5
Head tube length: 5"
Top tube length: 22-3/8" (center to center)
Top tube OD: 1-5/8"
Down tube OD: 1-3/4"
Seat tube angle: 71
Seat tube height: 9-3/8" (center to center)
Seat post size: 25.4mm
BB height: 11-5/8" Mid
Chain stay length: 14-3/8" (slammed) - 14-7/8"
Chain stay OD: 1" tapered to 7/8"
Seat stay OD: 7/8"
Dropouts: 1/4" thick for 14mm axles

Finish:
Gunmetal Grey


As I say; pretty unoriginal apart from the dimensions, but as far as i'm concerned Standards are dialled enough as they are.
I'd just love a frame by my favorite company, scaled up to fit a giant sized rider.

Pretty much gonna have my fingers crossed till the 1st September!

Just to let people know, product does NOT have to be Standard products.

Im still waiting for someone to break out the idea of a custom 26'' thruster tri-bar with some wicked stuff designed on the frame, crazy 80's retro, or something crazy like that, it is about all bikes, and I dont want people to think its just standard items you have to post, but to those Standard posts, thank you and they are always welcome!!!! And so far, pretty cool, keep the ideas coming!!!!!


knowayback you need to be a site supporter to be choosen. Link and rules above. sorry!
