ditto on the seatposts, finding a cool seatpost for a retro sucks. chrome would be the cat's ass.

I will be getting the dropout measurements we talked about this wednesday, I will get with you on thursday or friday to get the ball rolling on that frame.

If anyone would want a custom painted airbrushed bike, the guy who painted evil knievel's bikes, helmets, exc lives in our town and still paints and someone could have a real evil knievel SBC tribute, or anything you want!! but he cant paint on powder, so frame would have to be painted! Just more custom ideas from SBC.

How about a red/orange RAD Racing tribute race bike? painted up like the shirts and helmets, hahah

IDEA'S ARE ENDLESS

All the extra paint cost extra of course!!
nvmyslowride
I should have more pics today Mon the 13th.

Hey nv, I was in Chicago this weekend and I happened across a man that had a HUGE bmx bike, it was painted an army green color, and had STANDARD painted on top of the down tube. Naturally I had to stop and get the story. He said he had the "original" owner of Standard (whoever that may be) build the frame for him. Is there any info on this bike you may have? Oh yeah it was a 36 incher. Yes you read right, THIRTY SIX INCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nvmyslowride
That was standard built. Do you want one? haha

Nick, I've got an idea for Standard that I think would probably sell pretty well, at least with the older retro guys, like myself. A 1" microadjust chromoly layback seat post. Something with a similar bend and dimensions to the old GT posts. I've been looking for something like this for years, they don't exist. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I could find one.

Custom double plate gussets. One on each side. Laser cut SBC and perimeter shape.
Customer requested brace from seat tube to down tube.
Custom braces as requested by customer. Inpsired by vintage DG frame. Pretty cool !!!
Customer's 26er side view. 26 inch wheel. 5.5 inch head tube. American BB. Plus all of the other obvious touches. We are building a fork to go with this.

Just wanted to mention how great Nick and Standard Byke Co. has been to work with !!! If anyone is considering having some custom work done Standard Bykes is the place to do it !!! I hand picked the pale yellow off of Tiger Powder Coatings website and puchased 4lbs. for $30 shipped to SBC !!! SBC did not charge any extra for having coater do just one frame this color. That's what I call specialized customer service !!!! Thanks again to SBC and Nick for making this project happen.
