Daniel Sandoval is getting his own frame. I'm too lazy to find it , go hit up Total's facebook or whatever.
I respect all the riders , and like low frames. But why give everyone a frame that's basically similar to each one? Almost all Total frames are decently the exact same. I know Daniel is a crazy rider , but the frame looks the exact same as the Voltron. give him signature forks or something!

I'm pretty sure most (not all) of the people that ride Totals have no idea what geo is. They just buy the whatever frame is their favourite riders signature frame.

Looks like a Voltron/ KB with a gusset, curious about the specs as that will define if its different or the same as the rest of the line. Not liking the external gusset..
The colour he has there looks very close like my Hangover after messing with the gloss...
For anyone interested

@Cellmember Thanks for that picture , appreciate people adding on to the thread.
It looks exactly like what you said ! Almost a Voltron with a gusset and houurglass BB , spy seat clamp , and low profile dropouts. Proving me point I mentioned earlier !
I want to find specs.

I wouldnt ride a Total really. They would really suck for the kind of riding i do haha
Total as a company is a bunch of stuff i don't like, park rat junk, generic, and boring in my opinion. But they really do have some KILLER riders, it just isn't my thing.

All good ! Are you sure it's an hourglass BB it just looks like a standard Total BB used on all their frames. I could be wrong...
Edit: Spy seat clamp is a strawberry seat clamp/ built in, the Sandoval frame is external or "standard"/intergrated.

marks frame has a 75ht angle and daniel does more front end stuff so it will probably have a 75.5ht angle. the killa bee has a 75.5ht angle too but a 7.6 stand over and a shoort ass back end. knowing daniel who rode a voltron for a while, this frame is like a mixture of all 3 current total bmx frames with a decent rear end and stand over Idk what kind if bb height he prefers though.

my bad I was thinking about the v1, either way this one has a gusset, and just because it looks the same doesn't mean it is. a lot of specs tubing etc come into play, there was also talk of the production model being brake less, it doesn't drop till late fall 2014.

I dunno. Not as bad as cult with the same spec shit. Kinda like the total frames. Just rather buy a WiFi and save money.
If I had enough money I would ride a killa bee though.

I'm pretty sure most riders that haven't been in the game for more than a couple years do the same thing to be honest. I didn't really look into geometry of a frame until I got my Failure in about 05. Before that it was MAYBE top tube length, and that was it. (Granted back then most frames were similar, and geometry/standover didn't change much)
I recall a bunch of times when I worked at a shop kids asking about a pro riders bike, but never what it would be good for, just if it was fast or light. Color was honestly the biggest factor in kids buying bikes and parts, and most of them wouldn't consider buying a few new parts to dial in their setup, they would dump their 300 into a complete which was a big downgrade, even if we explained that their setup would be stronger and lighter. The logic was often "A new bike is better than my bike with better parts" even if their current bike was 100% chromoly and had a lot of aftermarket stuff on it.
"Does it have a half link, I don't want it if it doesn't have a half link". I heard this countless times.

also I tell people this all the time, it's a buisness. I don't care how down to earth by riders for riders "fuck the industry" a team is, which total isnt, it's a buisness. along with Alex coleborn, kyle baldock, and mark webb, kids love daniel sandoval. especially with his cheesy edits and more tech style. so total coming out with a frame with his name on it would make then a shit ton of cash. I bet there are people who own a perfectly good killa bee frame etc who will buy this when it drops. and if I managed a team id do the exact same thing.
