They're a tiny company; "production" runs that are like 20 frames sorta thing. I think they're gonna do another run at some point, but right now they're focusing on a couple other models.
@velosaurus hah, thanks! Who's your mate in RVA? I might know them.
I gather it's been kind of a pain to have FBM build these particular frames, as they have a shitload of features, thinner tubing than a bmx bike, etc. I think next runs of bikes are being produced in Taiwan, which makes sense to me. But I like the FBM guys and would like to pick up one of their bmx bikes at some point.
@Thrust the Surly 24-pack racks just have braze-ons in that spot, cage bolts right on. Saw someone on IG had done it, figured I'd give it a shot. Works ok. Used it on a bikepacking trip and only had a big Nalgene eject once. Since then I've left them on as a conversation starter because people always ask about mounting them there, lol.
