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 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.
-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.
