first

its definitely gonna break, why? because it’s eastern

dropouts look so thin on the bottom.
look like they would just snap off.

FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

-capone

i have a feeling the dropouts are gonna crush like all the other eastern frames

gee i wonder where they got the idea for the chain tensioners hmmm

I think dragonfly was the first to do the chain tensioners like that

Looks really good, I wonder how good the full postweld heat treatment is tho.

wow thats all i can fucking say. lets try to make a fly frame lookalike and put our name on it. fuckin bullshit. so how low can your seatpost go with that clamp w/o breaking the tube? if it lasts someone 3 months with no dents or flex ill be amazed

wow peice of shit. eastern sux. they need to just end there bmx career.

your all a bunch of retards, i rode a reaper for five years before it finally got a little tiny crack in one of the gussets. then they warranteed it for me without even having a receipt. they’re ok by me.

those chain tensioners looks ugly!

lukkin nice

too bad my eastern cracked after 6 months, and when i tried to warranty it, oh low and behold they want me to BUY another one for $200. true, well they sold me on getting a fit aka a real bike. i wouldn’t run their grips if they paid me…

You know maybe if you guys rode a little smoother you wouldn’t have problems with Eastern’s. Or maybe you could commision them to build you an old Jane or Hercules…I bet you wouldn;t be whining about frame strength with a double pierced headtube…

the reason you all see dropouts fold is cause you wreck em on your own behalf with either shite grinding or the new “i dont got pegs but im stil gona grind” style
the reaper was one of the first frames to have a lifetime warrenty
and this frame should be no exception
if all you faggots that knock eastern either go have words with their RnD department or else go shag off and buy an S&M warpig and then go complain about something else

yo that was sick

finally a Japanese steel frame I want one!

^ your a joke

Amazing looking frame! The attention to detail is incredible, can’t see even one small metal (Chromoly) burr.

dude, you a helping me build my brand with all this hating . I’m a genus bro I knew that you were CDC for life!.

see thats just it. i had an 03 ace of spades complete and that thing was a damn tank. it took everything i gave it. i folded the bars after a year bc i threw it. i bought a fly in 06! so with that being said, they are a good company, i am just not psyched on the undersizing of areas of interest on the frame. the last new easterns ive seen havent lasted that long and they were ridden by coaster kids. so idk, im torn bc i want another ace, but im jus not sold on all te cutouts and copies o other frames.

i dont know about you guys but this is what i read

“our product is degined to snap and bend and many places”

yeah you would.

By rode do you mean you commuted to the shops?

for real the people need to stop fucking hating eastern does make some good parts i mean i understand that some of there stuff is shitty but alot of it is alright i rode a traildigger for a year and there was nothing wrong with it and my friend is riding a reaper and theres not problem he is big and rides hard and still no problems

Might I ask what kind of pressure you put on the BOTTOM of your rear dropout…. Bike would probably work without a lower half of the dropout, its more for clamping force to keep the tire from sliding forward.
