The fast 50s one is a good amount cheaper. besides the closed rear end on the sic50s one, anyone have any comments/complaints on either?

NickIF

no one has either of these?

my friend (logikal) has a fast50s frame and it's bent, he got a Sano frame for Christmas that he is putting on as soon as he gets his bike back.

I've got the sic 50's frame I've been jumping and stunting and It has held up fine

NickIF

weedracer, do you have the swingarm too? How bad did it effect the balance point? What kind of forks are you running? rear shock?

f5rea0k

yeah, shows how strong fast50s frame is, doesn't it?

sic 50's swing arm, frame, forks, works shock, S&M bmx bars
I love it made the bike so easy to ride and the balance point, **** you can hold it all day 1st, 2nd, and 3rd like butta I have the sic 50's light bore with the racing cam too that made it more fun to ride

don't forget factory metals has a tig welded chromoly frame similar to the sano frame (or maybe the same?) - $350. butted subframe is a huge plus (maybe not for a 12 bar though). i'd get the chromoly over aluminum just cause its so much cheaper, the aluminum is stronger but more brittle too. the g-craft billet aluminum frame is sick looking. there's a lot of good chioces from different manufacturers on this page: http://www.xr50.com/chassis.html

whats the difference between that and the sic50s frame? They look identical

i'm not sure if there is one, but i'd prob. choose the fast50's or sik50s, i was just giving you more options. let us know whatcha get and how it works out.
