Just wondering how Total BMX frames would feel on street , considering they make tech parks frames so I'd presume you could ride street too. I wonder how they would hold up though. The new killabee frame has a 12.9 CS slammed and a 75.5 Ht so with a uber-short standover and such tech geomentry it would seem fun ! I wonder if the 5mm dropouts would hold too.

Thats all park dude. Deviants, Tiogas, slammed brit seat, pegless, profiles. But I think the Total frames would be fine for street. I actually really like the Killa Bee frame.

I know part wise without a doubt , but just the overall look ; black on black , slammed seat , topload stem. I really like it. I almost want to get one , but I'm no Harry Main or Alex Coleborn. And I'm rough on my bike , so if anyone can tell me how they hold up , I'd appreciate it !

Damn really ? But have you had one?
And the Fly Devon frame looks sick. Pretty long CS for Devon though.

I havent but i've known people who crack totals who rode park mostly, they just seem like weak parts that are light. I dont think theyre really meant to be for street.
It's pretty much like all the other flys but with the longer cs. regardless i assume it will crack and dent easy like all the others.

Hmmhm. Thats a shame. I really like Total as a company and as far as their parts , I dig it. In Canada , there isn't many indoors so street is the way to go. Bummer. Oh well , I'd rather have something strong !

I bet it would spin like a top but feel super squirrelly initially.

That's personal opinion, personally I don't like riding frames under 8.5" high.

id definitely recommend failure mainiac frames, i loved both of mine and current ride one. im looking at building a second street machine tho with a fiend frame.
