Those look like really nice frames.. I like the blue one the most, but that's probarbly because it's painted :P  Do you only make frames for your self, or do you sell aswell?

Well, I think those frames are dope!
Are they strong?
And how about weight?
I'm hope that gives you a lot of fun!

Thanks. Appreciate the complements!
 Weight is 4 pounds.
 I make them for fun (of course!) but, I am currently making two 20" flat frames with tapered seat/chain stays. One with brake provisions-one without. Similar geometry. For a local rider.
 The blue one was my first/prototype.It had a design flaw . The rear end was too rigid-they need to move to some degree.  Changed the bridge design and have been riding the unfinished revised model for a year, after putting in some heavy sessions...still  looking golden!!
Shut up and ride.

Hey Howie,

those two Frames looks really nice!
The blue one reminds me to my WTP DIV V2 that was my
favourite Frame for years, before it broke!
Its really cool to have the possibility to build own Frames and as you said
just for fun. This are dope lookin' Fun-Frames you build!!
