Most Meaningful BMX Bike Of His Life! - Karl Hinkley Bike Check

[@TheOtherMAJ]

Good lookin build, love the attention to detail

[@DeuceMS]

Awesome build from Karl. He really thought about every inch of the bike. Great stuff.

[@TheKernowcowboy]

This came at a good time for me. I’m going to be 52 this year and been suffering with some injuries and not as motivated as I have been so this cheered me up no end! 😊

[@KarlHinkley]

That’s awesome. If you ever have any questions that I can help with as an older riders myself please feel free to reach out to me direct at my shop “Local Bike Shop” in Unadilla Nebraska

[@CÜRB_CRÜE]

So glad KZbin showed me this video. I used to see your posts on instagram years ago but have recently forgotten about the brand name of your business. I think I am going to get some candy bars for a modern race inc 24

[@racefaceec90]

i don't ride bmx myself i must admit but definitely respect bmx and the riders (am 49 and rubbish bike handling skills lol). that bmx is awesome i have to say and i think your friend would love it (may he rest in peace).

[@madhatter5331]

Mad respect for the tribute Karl, that's what it's all about. Thanks for sharing and stay rad.

[@kyleranderson5557]

I absolutely love this so much

[@TekkenXtremeS]

This is a beauty! Never thought about the concave crossbars, they look sick, and definitely a bit safer as he said.

[@JustVictor72]

His dudes hair is crazy. Mr. Burns with a Mohawk is insane

[@Brant_Moore]

His nickname is Krazy Karl for a reason!

The mirra signature saddle was hands down the best BMX seat ever. I put one on everything. Wish I had stocked up on them. Hard to know back in 2005 haha. Rip.

[@Lejiapower]

I would consider buying this 21’’ frame for shure! In the web its only up to 20,75’’ 😢

[@KarlHinkley]

We take custom orders regularly. DM us and we can build you a 21”

[@Lejiapower]

[@az3gunner]

Cool tribute. Drunk drivers suck!!!

[@KarlHinkley]

100%!!! Thank you ❤

Is the TT length actually measured on the TT on this frame? Because if it is so, with that low weld point on the SO, i assume the geometry is actually longer(?) on a regular looking frame. Looking at the frame, If the TT is actually welded where the seatstays are in regular frames, there must atleast be half an inch material needed to reach them. I still think we should revise the way we measure bike geometry, especcially on toptube length as we should start measuring it from the BB to the HT parallel to the ground.

[@sepherus]

They call it a virtual top tube on their website. The seat tube is 72° also, so it's a touch steeper which makes them feel a touch longer when standing than the equivalent TT on a more standard 71° ST. I've got the Ninja frames predecessor. I 100% agree that we should reevaluate how we measure frames and geo though. MTB started to do that a little while back and it made bikes WAY more functional. Maybe it's time we take something from them this time instead of the other way around.

[@KarlHinkley]

Our top tube is measured the same as you would a more traditional looking frame. We go from the center of the feature to the center of the top of the angle brace where the “virtual top tube” would be or the standard bar on a traditional frame. Hope this helps. Stay rad :)

[@pauljames1978]

Don’t like the shape of the frame to low-slung can’t beat double diamond 🚲💨

[@KarlHinkley]

I think it’s tough to say either way on any new design that we have not tested. I personally as the owner did not care for the design when I was first suggesting it. After testing out the prototypes I found that the extra clearance allowed my tables, no foot cans etc etc work soooo much better and that’s huge for myself after 6 knee surgeries… I don’t move as fast and free as I used to. I was willing to trade functionality over looks. Now that I have grown accustomed to our frames I love their look. After all we are only human and very prone to conditioning. Stay rad my friend
