Fixed Gear Freestyle - Frame for tricks

Hello Riders,

I've tried searching the thread but couldn't find one. I'm looking for a good Fixed Gear frame for tricks. Been wondering what frame those people in MASH, Macaframa and etc are using...

I really appreciate you input.. thanks.

Cheers!

Brooklyn Machine Works makes a frame called the Gangsta that is supposedly alright for doing tricks on.

Just because it was used in a video doesn't mean it's a good idea though. I've seen at least one dude in those videos doing tricks on a Pista Concept which is pretty ragingly stupid, but that didn't seem to stop him.

what is MASH?

mashed potatoes? mmm

if you're gonna do tricks get the scrambler, I hear you can do barspins on 700c wheels although the frame itself is ugly as sin but its cheap as dirt!

i have a friend wth a volume cutter and he likes it a lot for tricks. he used to bmx dirt jump and down hill. but it is made from the same material used for bmx bikes seeing volume is a bmx company. its a strong heavy frame

Considering...Hows the Madison, suitable for some light beating?

madison is a great riding bike. fork looks the same as the barenuckle (a great trick frame, can take a serious beating). don't know about barspins, friend has drops and rides it mostly distance (used to do 40+ miles a day). maddy is a bit heavy, but under the paint is a chrome frame, which can look pretty sweet if made correctly.

girlfriend rides a Peugeot "success" conversion and it has a tight geometry. will barspin a 700c with an 18mm tire on the front. (56 cm size). currently has a 25mm tire on the front and if you throw the bars hard enough you can get them around, with lower pressure in the front tire (75psi). have to deflate the rear tire to take it off, less than 5mm rear tire clearance with a 42x15 ratio. 42x17 wouldn't work at all without a halflink. there are some good conversions out there for not too much money, she lucked out on this frame.

it's not the bike, it's the rider.

If the rider is good at tricks you can do tricks on any type of track/fixed gear frame :p

People in mash/macaframa trick on concepts, cdale tracks, samson njs, bareknuckles etc.

tons of people use steamrollers as their 'trick bike'. just throw a new fork on and go to town. prolly rode a steamroller before he got a bmw.

Isn't that just a hybrid with rear opening fork ends?

try the trek soho. It can bar spin easily, is hecka durable, and won't kill your wallet.

And throw some green deep v's, pink cranks, and blue oury's on it and it's tarck ready for tricking, I would know since that is my friends bike. In his defense the pink cranks were used dura-ace that he got for $8 after he stripped one of the crank arms.

You can barspin a 55cm and bigger with a 700x23c tire.

Our next round got delayed till around April- we only have 59cm and 61cm in stock- but we will deal on those while they last!

my 53cm stock mark v pro has bar spins with a 700c front (w/ 700x20 tire) and it can take a huge beating.

Bianchi Pista Concept
Milwaukee 700cmx

Would this bike be able to fit a 14mm axle. As if to persay im going to take a cassette hub maybe 36h or 48h and put it on a deep v then put it on here i dont know if this would work or not. Since this bike is half bmx i could put a whole bmx drive train on it probably rock a 28/10. AND im not going to make it a fixie cause fixies are gay i just want something i can coast and jump up and down curbs and not break or crack anything and survive my abuse.

Isn't that just a hybrid with rear opening fork ends?

That's pretty much what all these "fixed gear freestyle" bikes are... only with steep angles.

Not that i have problem with them, if my san jose ever dies, i'll just end up replacing it with some super beefy trick bike and add canti boses and disk mounts.
Most indestructible cross bike, ever.

IRO Mark Vs are pretty good for tricks. I think ur handlebar/fork setup are really important to setting the bike up for flatland stuff.
