It’s been a bit since we’ve had a report from FBM Headquarters. Mainly due to a week long case of Asian bird flu, and then another week of being bed ridden due to old age. There’s been lots of shipping, lots of receiving, lots of welding and next to nothing in the way of heat. Two heaters, lots of duct work, feet upon feet of gas pipe, still no warm winds a blowin’. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Cold temps aside, things are hot around FBM this winter so far.
And now a word from our very own John Corts:
This is custom FBM frame that i built around 3 months ago. Its has a 20 3/4 toptube length, 75 degree heatube, 71 degree seatube, 11.5/8 bottom bracket height, and 13.3/8 slammed backend length. The toptube is 1.3/8 supertherm, the downtube 1 1/2double butted heat treated, chainstays 7/8 x .035, seatstays 3/4 x .035 with a mid bottom bracket and integrated headtube with gyro tab holes, and weighs about 4.5 lbs.
forks – nice loctus
front wheel – single ringle shred
back wheel – primo mix cassette with brand new 8th laced to a big city lite
cranks – profile 175mm
bars – fbm belmar bar
seat – fbm
seatpost – animal wedge ( only post style that can be used due to the lack of the top of the seat tube)
grips – brand new nice miso

the only reason i am selling this is because it was stolen and the same day i finished putting my new bike together it was returned to me. so i want to sell it and donate all the money to help mike aitken. no returns
