Cheers, enjoyed that a lot. Every morsel of comparison was brilliantly presented....'not sure if the camera will get this.' Boo & then the camera gets it Yes! Haha. Learnt a lot. The 44', 10mm dropouts & the flattened chain stay. Tidy.👌💥👍
I am in the process of building one up. The ONE thing that I don’t like, is that you’re pretty much locked in to the 44 16 ratio. Especially if you want to run mags. 9 tooth mags only come with 14mm axles, and these have 3/8 dropouts. Not a big deal as I was planning an old school build anyway, but would’ve been nice to have the option.
@@alansbmx True, but for the amount of riding I do these days. 44/16 is fine. As long as I can throw out the occasional infinity roll and some front wheel hops. I’m fine haha
With the caliper mounted through the hole in the rear of the frame on the underside the caliper brake will hit the welded on lugs for the U-Brake. With it mounted on top you will have plenty of adjustment even if the wheel is far back in the drop out for the pads to touch the rim. (We tested this using an MX1000 Dia-Compe Caliper)
I was thinking that it looks like an ‘88 Street Styler painted up as an ‘85 Street Beat. Interesting they went with the plate at the seat tube. I remember the team used to complain the frame would break there.
@webanka Ya, it's a FRANKENSTEIN..The most popular and SOUGHT AFTER BEATS are the 1986/1987 TWO TONES with the HEAVY METAL GRAPHICS. I guess someones "phoning it in"/ "half assin it".
@@jamesgallagher1992 yup. If it was a clone I would have been extremely interested in getting one. I already saw the pre order advert and said "nah" When I saw the knurling and that was before I was told it was modern geometry etc.....

Great video Adam, that chrome build was quality. Must be the longest rear brake lugs in BMX ? 📐

You can always do what they did back in the 80s and 00s and 'slot' the axles on the rear wheel.

Did you buy it of these guys? and which colour did you get bro?
If i decided to use a rear Caliper Brake instead of a U-Brake would it give you enough play with a 25/9 or44/16 gearing ?

Sayeth the STREETBEATBEAST
NO TEAR DROP TUBING on the new bike. "IT'S NOT A REAL STREETBEAT, WITHOUT TEAR DROP TUBING!" Just a glorified Street Styler.

@@raymondsheffield5366 did red/chrome or black/chrome 2 tones for '88 model too.
Even if it had teardrop tubing and was made exactly the same it would still be seen as a lesser copy to the original
@@mattyburrows9059 Hey bother, thank you. Can you back me up on bmxmuseum? Lotta drama queens.
What is the head tube angle and chain stay length?
When are these frames due in stock?
These are due end of this week. They have landed into the UK, cleared customs and now travelling up to the mighty North!
Due to us this Wednesday (21st March)
@@alansbmx awesome thanks 👍🏻
1985 I think, although the forks look like later ones.
Another "lineage". No thanks.
Unfortunately yep...prefer original old school all the way..fab channel tho lads🤘🤘🤘
