Welcome to the FBM custom frame page.  Our goal is to work hand in hand with each customer to aid in the design of your personal frame.  We take pride in our craftsmanship and customer service, and wish to make this process as enjoyable as possible.

A custom frame will cost $450.00 plus shipping with a non-refundable 50% deposit due before we start production. The balance plus shipping are due prior to shipping your frame.  It will take approximately 6-8 weeks from confirmation of your design until your frame will be ready to ship.

Below are the available options for building your custom BMX frame.  You can start from scratch or modify one of our current or classic frame designs.

We can do modifications that are not listed in the order form below, but they will be assessed on a case by case basis.  If we are able to build your specific modification the increased cost will be determined before your work order is processed.  If you would like to get a BMX frame with any options not listed, contact FBM directly at 607-729-2803 or john@lastcalldistro.com and we can discuss your design.

Most custom frames will come with FBM's standard warranty which is a 30 warranty against manufacturing defects (materials and workmanship) and 6 month waranty against breakage.  READ THE FBM WARRANTY FOR DETAILS.  Frame designs that are unusual, or not designed for the type of riding it will be used for may only be covered by the section of FBM's warranty that covers manufacturing defects.  If your frame design is of the later type, only warrantied against manufacturing defects, then we will make that clear and you will need to agree to that stipulation prior to making a down payment.

Thanks for choosing FBM to build your custom frame.
