Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying BMX Frames. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of BSD ALVX AF Frame 2019.
The first thing is material. Looking at what BSD ALVX AF Frame 2019 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new BMX Frames. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling BMX Frames. Brands like BSD are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the BMX Frames category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for BMX Frames.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

- Description: BSD ALVX AF FrameThe ALVX AF is the latest evolution of the Alex Donnachie signature frame design. Designed to withstand the abuse of street riding and to provide outstanding stability and responsiveness, this frame is a masterpiece in BMX freestyle frame construction.Short Chainstays, Epic Tyre Clearance, Awesome DurabilityThis new rendition features invest cast chainstay yoke and invest cast one-piece dropouts, which enables the chainstay length to be as short as it can be and provides even more tyre clearance while stiffening up the rear triangle. The rear wheel can be slammed to an extremely short 12.5″ chainstay length with no worries of your tyre rubbing. For an awesomely responsive and reactive frame that also offers hardcore durability, look no further than the BSD ALVX.Features: Material: Sanko Japanese seamless 4130 CrMo Tubing Headtube Angle: 75.5¬∞ Headtube Length: 117mm Seat Tube Angle: 71¬∞ Rear End Length: 12.5-13″ BB Height: 11.7″ Standover Height: 8.7″ Brake Mounts: Brakeless Weight: 5lb (2.26kg)Technologies Invest Cast Yoke: By using invest casting BSD are able to create a chainstay yoke that creates more clearance for the tyre when your wheel is slammed. Also, because this part is cast and heat treated it significantly strengthens and stiffens the rear end of the frame. Invest Cast Dropouts: The dropout is cast as one piece, which is significantly stronger than a plate welded to a tube. At 7mm thick, it provides superb support for the rear axle when smashing features during each run, and the small shape has been designed for grinding meaning there’s no overhang to catch on ledges or rails. The dropout is heat treated before welding making it extra tough and it features integrated chain tensioner bolts inside – it’s every street riders dream. External Gussets: To handle the pressures of modern riding, BSD have achieved excetpional strength by using a combination of butted tubing and external gussets. The highest concentration of stress on a frame is at the junctions between the headtube/toptube and headtube/downtube, which BSD have paid particular attention to reinforce, without increasing the weight for an exceptionally reliable and robust freestyle frame construction.
