i ripped the head tube off, good thing they just started to make mastr blastrs when i broke mine, got a new mastr blastr in the mail, and i was over warrenty but fbm is soo cool no questions asked. the new mastr blastr is stronger and a few oz lighter but still this frame is sick

I had this frame for almost 2 years and when i went to change out my headset bearings I noticed my head tube was cracked in like 5 places inside and outside the headtube. Fbm did nothing but tell me they can only replace a frame thats no more than 6 months old. They offered me a new frame for $185, i refused it and i'm getting either an LAF or FIT S3. FBM knew they had problems with the early autopilots and did nothing. I'm through buying fbms. -

I have one of the ox bloods and it is awsome, love the length. great weight couldnt ask for a better frame and if i get tired of the color i can ride it so hard it cracks and i get any new fbm frame free! cant beat that. -

After riding Macneil, WTP, Haro,and DK frames I can definitely say that this is the best frame I've ever ridden. It's beautiful, well built, strong and all street. It's all about FBM! -

Got this frame around August in the 20.625 NIL-8 version. It rides great at the trails even with a 13.5 rear end. 75 degree headtubes actually make the bike feel normal since we all run bigger tires in the front.
FBM makes the best frames without a doubt. Straight, the bearings go in smooth, and aesthetically pleasing. This is a frame that is good for everything, just how Mike Tag wanted it. -

Excellent frame, light, strong, great geometry. Being a short arse at 5'5" I took a 20.375" TT which matchES quite well to the 13.25" rear end.
No option of tabs (removeable or fixed) when I bought it almost a year ago which was a bit off putting, as I love my gyro, but now that I've ridden it for a year I've no regrets.
Top work FBM, keep it up!
I give 97/100 - make it a 20.4" with a 13.5" rear with removeable tabs and it would get 100/100 (hint, hint FBM). -

Bought it a year ago and not a bad desision at all...love the angles and the rear end, could be a bit longer up top though as i got it in the largest offered, but yeah it is stronger than any frame i have ridden, from throwing 40 feet to flat off doubles, to just tech stuff, i would say to be the best frame made. And a little letting you know that the kink gyro plate fits this sucker. -

The best feeling bike I have ever ridin!
I have had mine about 6 months and there are no cracks on the welds. The feel of the bike is awesome. It has the perfect weight to it. Made in the USA. comes in awesome colors. rear end is perfect! The Frame is Dialed
More Comments:
so im 6'1" and 160lbs and the 20.65 tt with the 13.25 rear really feels good but i would drill the wish bond between the two tube on both chain stay and seat stay and chop the clamp area off and use a wedge post but thats all i would do for physical mods.
my closing statement is its a big step from eastern frames if your a hard rider
