i buy US made when ever possible. the bikes that come from over sea's are made from recycled steel which they get from us. thats why their tubeing is weaker........just a fact. anyone living in the US should be buying us made products.......period. like some others said, this makes new products cheaper and better for us, all while makeing sure jobs stay here. support the country you live in...................

where do you get these facts from? cuz i garantee they can and DO get their hands on anything we get here, plus you make it sound like your talking about ALL bikes

ill agree with how you have to spend money to get good things. even if it is 400 dollars...id feel good about it if i felt its a good product and i feel the company i spent money is worth my money. plus its impossible to buy enough products that are us made to make a difference...buing a us bike frame is a grain of sand on a beach when you factor in how  over 50% of people who have cars on here probably werent built with american labour

plus its so pointless to bitch and moan about prices...i hear people complain when gas goes up 20 cents...go look how much gas costs in places like japan or europe and then realize we get a good deal either way.

no not all bikes, we get most street park etc, but try and get flat parts, we get some, but we still have to order a large portion from the us, because we do NOT have half the stuff distributed.
and my knowledge is from what I've seen.

hers a link to a popular online aus store. those are some aftermarket bmx frame prices.

hers another

and another

Hey dude find me a store that can get say get quamen in Australia and i might believe you about us having full range, we get a large portion from from the states for this reason.

p.s. here's a currency converter by the way

well its obviously not 'that' simple...my following suggestion i mean

but if you think about it...if theres no online flatland store in aus, wouldnt it make sense you would make some bank if you were the 'only' one? im sure people would rather not pay 100 dollars in shipping

so go out and DO it

Wouldn't have the cash to do that, neither would i be older enough, and wouldn't even have the room to do it from home. Neither am I old enough to sign a lease. Also because of our tax situation i suspect it'd still work out cheaper for the ones that just want absolute best bang for there buck to get it ordered still.
Last but not least probably not enough us riders to actually keep it afloat gather thats why it doesn't exist at this stage.

Pricing is cool with me. Nice product and the cost of buisness is high. Great frame keep pushing on!

dudes.  i know i'm a little late posting here, but i think that

function frame is SICK AS FACK.  strong as an ox.  perfect

the way they designed the rear end, strong strong strong.

i wish all frames were like that.  i hate weak-arse rear ends on

modern day frames, they crack and twist and bend and break.

not the function one though,


DO IT
