Every new bike starts with the frame. Your frame determines how the bike rides. The geometry: a

combination of lengths, head angle, BB height, seat angle, etc makes your bike what it is. Good

components are important, but a good, straight frame that is right for you is mandatory. That's why you

ride on S&M.

 

Every after market frame we sell is made right here in our Santa Ana, CA shop. We don't make as many

frames as larger factories, but we make better ones. As a result of better materials and more skilled labor our frames are more expensive than most. What you get for your money is a better BMX frame built by guys that understand what makes one work correctly. You won't find a better BMX frame on the market than one built here at S&M.

S&M Black Bike - $369.00 in BBQ Black Larger view 
 

 

If you're stuck between riding a Black Bike or an L.A.F. the Black Bike is better for: Heavier/rougher riders

that might damage an L.A.F., riders that like a slightly taller top-tube height, or riders that don't like steep

75 degree head angles. Those are only some of the major differences, there are others like the Top Tube

diameter (Black Bike is larger) and drop-out thickness (Black Bike is thicker) but those are some of the major ones.

The 21" BB also has a longer rear-end for 2007. The Black Bike also has removable gyro tabs. Nastazio, Beringer

and Baker all ride Black Bikes.

Also, the Black Bike has elevated chain-stays for grinds...and every frame has a choice of cable routing

either around or thru the seat-tube.

Available in textured Black only with no stickers!

S&M Stricker - $369.00 in black and white  Please ask for available colors  Larger View 
 
Josh is one of the most popular S&M riders ever and this is his signature frame. He never liked the look of the intergrated Hiddenset head tube, so we designed this one to look like a standard head tube with traditional cups in it. Josh rides hard so while keepin the frame at 5 pounds we had to make it strong with double head tube gussets and a SuperTherm front triangle. Scerbo, Wiz and Larry Alvarado all ride Stricker frames.

Butted/Air-hardening SuperTherm tube set SuperTherm is a proprietary superthermophillic
(heat-loving) alloy, developed in partnership with the U.S. Steel Alliance. The composition of
Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium with an unprecedented 217 ksi ultimate tensile strength
makes this alloy actually gain strength through a metallurgical transformation in the heat-affected
zone as a result of welding or brazing. SuperTherm is highly temper-resistant, resulting in
an 11% increase in fatigue life and a 20% increase in impact strength over Heat-treated 4130.
The increased mechanical properties of SuperTherm allow for incredibly strong, yet lightweight
frame designs with that legendary feel of steel ride quality.

Weightless Zinc Coating Gold or Black Freshly galvanized steel progresses through a natural
weathering process. During the first few weeks following galvanization, the zinc coating
develops a natural protective patina. If allowed to develop naturally, the patina itself provides
an inert corrosion protection layer for the active zinc metal.

Formation of the zinc patina begins with the exposure of freshly galvanized steel to atmospheric
oxygen. Initially, a thin layer of zinc oxide develops on the surface of the steel as a result of the zinc
metal and oxygen reacting. This oxide layer continues to react with water, rainfall, or dew, to form a porous,
gelatinous zinc hydroxide. During drying, this product reacts with carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere
and converts into a thin, compact, and tightly adherent layer of corrosion products consisting mainly of basic
zinc carbonate. The rate of patina formation varies according to the environmental conditions. Typically, it
takes 6 - 12 months to fully develop.

Research and corrosion testing have shown that zinc's ability to provide long-term corrosion protection
is mainly based on the formation of the zinc patina. This relatively insoluble layer of zinc corrosion products
inhibits the formation of new corrosion products by acting as a barrier to the underlying galvanized coating.
The patina also heals itself upon damage by reforming the corrosion products when fresh zinc metal is exposed
to the atmosphere.

We thought people would really appreciate the constant changing properties of zinc, along with the fact it is almost weightless.
