This is one good looking bit of kit, it's been a while since we have featured a bike on here, so what better to start with than this absolute machine that we put together with one of my good friends Will Bennett.
I want to say that this bike is an absolute tank, but that puts a picture of it being heavy and sluggish which it's quite the opposite of, this nimble street inspired BMX is the perfect all-rounder. Will has put his stamp on things with the higher than normal seat position and bars ever so slightly forward.
The colours work very well together! The bold translucent red S&M ATF frame is a great base for the mostly black, but with a splatter of polished, bits to get bolted to.
Will has said that the bike is the most solid he's ever had, with manuals being a little bit more twitchy but everything else feeling great. That will be the perfect S&M geometry coming in to play!
So, why the title of 3rd time lucky? Well, poor Will has been through a few frames within no time at all for no apparent reason. This would be his 3rd frame in about 8 months or so, after being unlucky with two fly frames which came as a surprise to us.
