Having built his first frame before he was old enough to have a drink, you better believe that Freddie knows how to put together a perfect chopper-chassis or springer front end. In fact, many top bike builders are still using Freddie's frames and front ends today.

"Chica and Billy Lane have been running my front ends. Chica's been using them for quite a while now," says Freddie.

Fred's Frames are built to your specification in rake, stretch, goose-neck and single/double down tube or all of the above. He builds Softail, rigid and even trike frames. You name it; he's been there and done that.

His springer front ends are, in my opinion, the cleanest in the industry. The springer front ends generally come in four types: ultra narrow, narrow, wide and super side, in any length and finish.

Also returned to the line up are his rigid front ends, which were popular in Southern California the late 60's and 70's. These front ends start with 20" over sizes. "What makes it work is that there's chrome-moly on the inside, which acts as a spring. Chrome-moly's got like a memory where it springs back into place. It flexes; it bounces back. The rigid front end is the best riding front end I've ever ridden."
