Subrosa Twin Top Tube Spy Shot.

by: adam |


I spotted some Shadow seats that I spotted on Twitter earlier today and now here’s another Twitter exclusive… a Subrosa frame with a twin top tube. I won’t claim to know all there is to know about this but I do know that it is going into production and that a lot of you are going to be REALLY EMOTIONAL about this in the comments!

  • Old news

    That’s not exactly a ‘Twitter Exclusive’ – there’ve been “Spy shots” of that frame for ages. These are a month old. “Tight game”.

  • torker

    Torker and a thousand other people have done this since the 70s and it works fine. Sorry to burst your bubbly Adam but this was on BMXFORUM of all places weeks ago. Bicycles over a hundred years ago had twin top tubes. Bikes have been around longer than the internet and all you know it all Johnny Come Latelys believe it or not.

  • Brad

    I was just going to fucking say that! I laughed pretty hard when I saw this pic. I would love to have a custom frame with the old school TA teardrop tubing… would be sick… Any manufacturers want to build me one?

  • anon

    haro revo?

  • alb

    On twitter Ryan posted a photo of the frame at random a few weeks ago.

  • no one cares

    APRIL FOOLS YOU FAGGOTS.

  • your an idiot

    its not april fools its been around for a while.

  • bmx legend

    good shit
    big daddy would love this frame

  • alb

    It’s real for sure. Not April fools and looks/feels like a fucken dream!

  • Henry Rollins

    this isn’t an april fools joke.

    sher was riding a prototype of this a few months ago in orlando. frame looks sick.

  • Tyler

    I don’t see what the problem is? It seems like it would be just a structurally sound as any other frame. I guess some kids are just haters.

  • —–

    i’m gonna tune back in april 2nd and see if this is still “going into production”

  • Greg S

    Absolutely real deal.
    Ryan’s been riding his all winter and Kyle H for a month or so.

  • malimar

    yeea dude, shers way gnarlier than the average limpwristed bmx wimp, and if it holds up for him, it will without a doubt hold up for all of you

  • schnikes

    Just a haro master/ torquer. Something different to look at at the skatepark I guess. You’ll hit the inside of you’re legs on the wide top tube a couple time and be over it.

  • bmxdan

    bring back the profile plastic cranks! pranks!

  • davros

    Thats cool, i was wondering when they would com back. Have you seen http://www.deluxebmx.com
