Any info on this company? Ive been riding The Make Croft for over a year
I only got it cause it was on sale and I needed a frame. I could never find anything out about the company though. I'm looking at getting a set of their bars and pegs but I'm skeptical because my lack of knowledge about them! I heard that FBM makes their parts but never got a 100% answer. Anybody know anything about who makes their parts (if they don't make their own) and are their parts any good? Especially frame bars and pegs.

I was looking stuff up about themake and on some forum thread someone said FBM makes their parts for them, and fbm owns thetake. One person said that, nobody disagreed with him, and I was never able to find proof that he was right. That's what I'm hoping to do here

Are you thinking the two (The Take and The Make) are somehow connected because of the names? The name for The Make comes from the owner's last name. They are not connected with FBM in anyway that I can find. Just because someone's statement is not refuted on a forum doesn't mean that person is correct. And if The Make was connected with FBM, they would be distributed by Last Call instead of Sparky's. I hope this clears things up for you.

The Make and FBM are not related in anyway. I think The Make is closely related to Federal though, mainly because of the dropout shape, but I could be wrong.

Federal is owned by Seventies Distro here in the UK, and The Make is a UK company which is distributed by Seventies, so it's quite possible.

I saw on themakebmx.com three videos named Mutiny Vs. The Make.. maybe they're related? Seventies distro sponsored the vids or something.. they were a part of them somehow

Hey Tim, remember when you said "nobody disagreed with him"? Well, if you take a look again you'll see that cupovjoe disagreed and is correct.

Mutiny and The Make are not related either. Stop drawing these conclusions. People/companies collaborate. It means nothing more than that. Cult and Vans did a grip together, it doesn't mean that Vans owns Cult or vice versa.

The Make makes some good parts though. The Croft is a quality frame that was made in Taiwan.

I was never trying to draw conclusions? I just wanted to know more about the company because I haven't been able to find a lot of info
