BMX Frames

There are BMX frames out there at every price level, at every size and color combination. You can buy frames with full chromoly tubes, integrated headsets and frames that are super lightweight. You will pay more for these features, especially for both strength and less weight, but if you ride a lot, then it certainly can be a worthy investment, considering the frame is the core of your bike.

You will probably be looking at either a steel, aluminum or a chromoly frame. If you are looking for a cheap BMX bike, go ahead and get one made of steel. If you are a more experienced rider and looking to upgrade, a cromoly frame is the way to go. If you are into racing, then you will probably be looking at an aluminum frame which has welded joints which increases strength.
