"Design is in the details"... On this 20" BMX frame, the details are:
a relatively wide distance between top and downtube making a stronger headtube junction
Shortened dropouts that reduce the risk of smacking a ledge on the bottom lip of the dropout... and saving weight
Clearance for the biggest tire. Braces that are as close as they can be to the tire making a stiffer rear end
Its lighter than my longer frames, and for a 21.15"TT at 5lbs it not that heavy at all considering its mostly straight gauge. I'd say the OX plat/supertherm butted version would be ~4.6lbs
