I have dealt with these guys just once.
I got my Maltese Cross Weldments from Black Widow Choppers aka spyder66us@yahoo.com on ebay that I mounted to my dog bones... no problems with the transaction... but then again...how could they screw up a couple simple weldments? It's not like they sold me a frame or anything... so I can't speak for quality of any other parts.... but as far as MY transaction... no problems at all. my 2 cents Firehawk |

Yeah I had only seen their web sight when I had post this.Since then I have only heard bad things like frame failure.The tubing they use is to small.I would never use them for hardtail or frame work at all!

I have checked out there stuff on ebay, the bends in the tubes look to be a little flat not a good sign. the tubing that they are using is to thin, the minimum
thickness for a frame is supposed to be .085 I think they are using around .080 - .085. but for a hardtail it should be .095 or thicker over .120 is
overkill.and their axle plates are to thin and flimsy.

The rigid frames of theirs I've seen used better materials, but the welds were questionable. On the axle plates they never seem to sink the tubes far
enough into the plates to leave enough area for a good weld. The tubes almost seem to but the axle plates and get welded. Not strong enough for a decently
heavy rigid, IMO. Plus, for $150 you can buy some tubing and cut the axle plates off yer swingarm and go from there.

it costs me $150 to build a full rigid frame and that includes the axle plates.
