BSHistory
Monday 26 July 2010 | By jamie
Alex Platt and Josh Suhre had prototypes of a Proper street frame in January 2009. This is the original Platt prototype. Check the spacers and you'll most probably agree that taller was the way to go.
If you take a look at the March/April 2009 issue of Dig you'll note that Joris came here on work experience and his main duty was to work on a frame. We ironed out a few things Alex didn't like from the first prototypes (and with a whole lot of input from Joris) we got to work on the BSH. At that point in time this frame was radically different from anything else on the market. The tall standover height and 'back to basics' approach were completely contary to market forces, but we had faith. Joris's BSH prototype arrived in January 2010 (these things take time) and it's still going strong (same with Alex's and Gav's). Thankfully the finished frames are heading West as we speak and Joris will soon be aboard his signature Flat Tan 21.0" model and Alex his Flat Red 21.2". Say what you like about this frame but don't say it was rushed.
As for the name.....we thought long and hard about a name that reflected the character of this frame and Brick S**t House stuck.
Check back tomorrow and we'll have photos of Joris's prototype, an interview, some exclusive riding photos, and the finished artwork.
