Toxicfab BMX bike!

Collin@ToxicFab · Feb 10, 2011, 06:19 PM

for over a year now i have been throwing the thought of building my self a bike around. never have time and could never get the materials i wanted. so finally i found everything i needed. this is no easy task. i used all double butted 4130 chromo tube. every part is made from chromo. frame came in at 4.2lbs which put a smile on my face

here are some pics of the frame before and after welding. most pictures before welding its in the jig which i will keep a secret for now. enjoy!
