what frame should I ride, this Cult, or this FBM Stairmaster?

"FIRST OFF IM NOT UNGRATEFUL AT ALL JUST CONCERNED! So I got a frame, fork, bars, stem, and grips from Rob Morales at Cult Crew but oddly the frame has brake mounts like the completes do. I just dropped a $500 pre-order on parts to make it bad ass from the best people in Texas, Empire BMX but don't want to spend all that cash for the frame to die within a week. But before Robbie sent me the frame like a day before, and I didn't ask but Im grateful that to get a package from Cult. Dolecki said he would hook me up with his FBM Bikes Stairmaster which is Aaron Ross' old signature frame. With Profile Racing 3 piece, an Animal Bikes 30 tooth, and headset. Now the question is do I risk it with the Cult? Or go with old faithful and shred the FBM? I ordered 4 Lino Gonzalez pegs and Federal Bikes free coaster with Sun Ringle Big Baller rims. I know the FBM won't even get a dent I just don't want to be rude or ungrateful but what if this is some beginner model Cult and I die riding it? Im asking you for some advice, and sorry I moon you towards the end. This is worth watching for the Serpent Throne-Brother Lucifer soundtrack in the background."

I guess i'd ride the FBM but you could email cult with the serial number or whatever maybe they will be able to tell you what it is.

I'm pretty sure the Cult completes are the only ones with welded on brake mounts.

They both are good gestures from friends, all I need to do is pay off what I owe to Empire and I'll be riding again. I ordered a Federal V.3 freecoaster a BSD Street Front Hub custom wheels built to Sun Big Baller Rims with Odyssey spokes, a Bone Deth leopard seat and seat post, and 4 Lino Animal Pegs. Im gonna ride the Cult Bars/stem and forks on the FBM since the FBM already has the cranks and sprocket put on I just gotta make sure the Cult chain is big enough.

Pretty sure they did an odd amount of frames with welded mounts coming out of the solid made ones. Post pics you I can tell the complete from the aftermarket.

From Facebook:

Rob Morales- schnell the frame is a fully heat treated chromoly sample frame.

I'll take Robbo's word and ride the Cult and if anything happens I have the FBM Stairmaster as back up, its a win win situation. After I pay these parts off. I had to get a freecoaster and custom wheels. All in the game.

In that video Im high as fuck, just listen to my voice. I wasn't trying to make Lord Of The Rings, But Robbie claims its a Sample frame: " Rob Morales- schnell the frame is a fully heat treated chromoly sample frame."

Here are photos of the mounts and the frame kids:

I put all the stickers on myself, and I cut myself and made it drip on the Cult face making it bad ass! The frame came sticker less and Im pretty sure they gave me a pair of Trey Jones Signature Bars (look at the size of them) and its a Mind Control stem no doubt, two Cult tires and a Cult Half Link Chain.

"dmx24 wrote: i have a very similar cult frame...sitting in the corner of my garage....cracked in half......"

Robbie and I have been friends for over a decade now, Im not sure why he would lie to me about it being 4130 and heat treated. He did me a favor and Im not gonna be a dick about it, yeah I wanted to ride the FBM but Im gonna try the Cult out first and see what happens. I have 2 custom wheels BSD Street front hub built to a BIG Baller to save money since the Federal V.3 Freecoaster is why my tab is $500. The coaster is built to a big baller rim as well both with ODYSSEY Spokes, a Bone Deth Leopard Skin Vibrator seat and Bone Deth seatpost along with some Twisted pedals again to cut down on the price and it still cost me an arm and a leg.
