It's description:
A strong shot of BMX chased with enough MTB to take the edge off. Everything an Unknown Stuntman needs, nothing they don't
Specs:
4130 Steel, 14mm axle BMX hub (110 spacing), Made in USA
5.6 lbs
14.75" CS length
9.5" c-c ST
71 degree HA
Designed around fat tires and a 3" fork
Bikes are designed and built by Landon Holt of Tonic Fab (http://www.tonicfab.com) More photos are available on the site
I personally was impressed with the craftsman ship of the frame. You can tell in the photos the quality of the welds and the overall clean look of the bike. I was also surprise when I got on the bike and rode around that it did not feel as small as it looked! When I first seen the bike I thought it was going to feel like a 20" or a cruiser. Definetely a nice park/street/dj bike!
Now for lots of huge pics!

Yeah it's 24" only

Yeah 24" only is kinda a disadvantage but that's how he got the oh so short CS length. The rear dropouts are actually pretty cool, he has them laser cut and they are very breezer-esque.
I forgot to mention he's from a long time BMX background and he's also into vintage BMX stuff, hence the seatstays and brake placement. The seatstays are retro Hutch style and the brake placement allows you to stand on the seatstays if you are into flatland.

sweet lookin bike, those pegs are horrible though.
Yeah really. I kind of looks as if he went out and bought all brand new stuff and then put everything together. Like the sticker on the freewheel. nothing changed at all.

i'd say you're right on that one.
my little list (i like making lists):
likes-
short stays
construction
24only
brake location
dislikes-
110 spacing,
lack of disc mounts,
and it brobably rides like ass because those huge curved stays 'll make it very stiff vertically,
park specificness,
for a park specific bike that doesn't have 20"ers it rules all shit though; though i'm not sure about it being designed around a suspension fork in that case.
props all round but it's not for me, which is cool

Nice bike...that is exactly what I did to my Badd Racing 24" but I can't use full size pegs (though I have cut down that same set to about 1.5"-2") smashes the ankles. Places like Japan/NYC that are nothing but pavement are what this kind of bike is designed for.

what's wrong with 110 spacing?
5.6lbs seems light for a 4130 bike. would putting the brakes under the seatstay cause unneccessary stress on the calipers and cause them to wear out fast?
i wish frames would stop coming disc only.

Nope many BMX bikes are like that.
