FBM makes solid BMX bikes, and they make them by hand in the basement of a factory in Binghamton, NY. Used to be in Ithaca, NY, but moved after their place burned down. The guys their know what they are doing... when it comes to building BMX bikes at least. I'd rock an FBM frame if they go on sale, Ithaca is only 30 minutes from my parents house, and Binghamton is pretty close too. The FBM factory is awesome, its in the basement of a factory that was turned into a skate park. FBM in the lower levels and skate park up top.
