My new custom frame !!!
« on: July 15, 2011, 05:17:53 PM »
I wanted to share with you my new custom frame (from the brand PiR of course...).

There's a lot of work in this frame because I wanted something different and original, but with a simple diamond design.

Better than words, here are some pictures of the building process...

I started with the upper bridge :









The PiR signature dropouts, with for the first time, a new integrated chain tensionner for the drive side.





Headtubes...



Front gusset



Seat tube with externally machining and integrated seat post clamp.



The wishbone (it's 4 parts of tubes welded together)











...and the frame welded



and some details



Specifications :

TT : 19.2"
CS : 12.4" min
HA : 76.5°
SA : 71°
Standover : 4.7"
BB heigth : +3.15"
100 mm long head tubes with custom machining
Integrated chain tensionner
Externally machined seat tube
Integrated seat post clamp
Lower front gusset
Euro BB with custom machining
Special wishbone
Special bridge
Swaged and tapered rear tubes
Flatened seatstays on the seat tube connexion
Special additionnal bend for better chain clearance on the drive side

Weigth : 1550 g

Malo, I really didn't want to comment on your latest creation as it seems like I am constantly praising your latest creations. But you really have taken your skills to another level with this frame, this truly is amazing and a work of art.

Creating your own custom tubes really puts you on a level which even big companies and main stream off the peg frame makers can't compete with.

LOL funny joke.  PIR is on its own level.

I personally haven't seen a more thoughtful, detailed frame in bmx. I'm amazed at the quality of it. Malo, you could make a calendar of your custom frames, they're gorgeous.
