Is that external butting machined? Terrible idea if it's machined.

I just asked Alex, he said the 20.4 is a one off for him and the chain stays will stay super short as normal :(

AJ's 20.4" top tube is realistically shorter compared to say a typical 8.5" seat tube height frame with an identical tt length. So not long at all considering the scooteresque standover. Hope this makes sense.

it is frustrating how in every other bike industry the manufactures quote both the physical TT and actual TT lengths yet in BMX we're given a vague number that rarely translates into a real world figure.

So very true, hopefully these informative specs trickle down to the bmx world soon enough.


Manufacturers out there take notice.

You know what's kinda weird?

It's not crazy light. At all. Neither is Matthias's.

I was very confused.
