I second that.
But it’s called the “Speed Shop” now, ph: 03 9419 1945. This info is straight from the GONZ at strictly BMX.

Save money, just use zip-ties and electrical tape…it fixies everything.

As much as we all love the uber hip ‘Speedshop’, frame repairs are uber $$$$$$, and the speed??? Just ask anyone that gets work done there. We are talking weeks, if not MONTHS…

One of those options is the best choice. The other two ive had nothing but exorbant prices, long waits and shithouse service.

Jon is a clever guy who executed the modification well. I didn’t have the masking problems with the powdercoater that some others describe. Ultimately the design failed, but it was my design and I should have had it heat treated. That’s alloooominium for you. Frame’s still my much loved trials bike but back to normal brakes.
