Here is the latest member of the maegic [ˈmædʒɪk] BMX familiy, the maestro [ˈmaɪ.stroʊ]. Designed to look like an oldschool frame, light like an oldschool frame, rigid like a new school frame, and comfortable like a new school frame.
I often get incredulous looks, wondering if my frames are really straight. The fact is, for riding, it's crucial that the bottom bracket, head tube, dropouts, and seatpost are aligned and straight. Of course, it wasn't always that precise at first. Over time, my tools and skills improved. Some warping during welding is unavoidable, so a degree of inaccuracy is normal. Only the extent of that warping can be controlled. The outcome is great for a 20" frame and don't needs further "alignment" on a straightening bench.
Huge congratulations to our David Hoffmann on taking third place at this year's German Championships in Hannover -> Finals 2026. 🥉🏆 A shout-out to all the riders too — awesome show, great atmosphere, and incredible riding. 👍
