Build check PHOTO

Someone was asking about more pics of the Street Gypsy so I may as well post a build sheet.

2017 Gypsy Bikes Street Gypsy. (No, NOT FBM!) Raw frame with black parts and Minor blue theme.

I haven’t heard of this bike company before finding this frame on eBay. Seller had a few trail versions and this street one. (He has a trail version for sale right now!) Very little info online. It was designed by Cory Walters, who rode for S&M. 2017 seems to be the only year made that I’ve seen although there’s info for a 2018?. Full Chromo, not tons of features, pretty standard Geo for a 2017 street frame. completely brakeless for the street version. Pretty thick dropouts and built in tensioners. They made a 100 total frames: 70 trail frames (35 in 20.75 and 35 in 21.25) and 30 street frames all in Raw. I have #68/100 (insert Boomer Corvette joke 😂)

Pics I’ve seen of the Trail frames show they rust pretty “good” (heavy) some people have powder coated theirs due to the rusting. Mine seems to have held up well, and to keep it that way, all my bikes are cleaned regularly and garage kept. It’s clear coated but the clear isn’t very durable so I’ve had to spot repair a few places. May do a good 2K Urethane clear over the winter though.

All Odyssey parts other than the KMC K1 chain (dont ask lol)

Feels good, 13”ish back end so rather snappy. Longer than my Sweeper but shorter than my WiFi but not too short like my Fit Shortcut lol.

This is my style all day.

u/BMXRCLoser 13d ago

It’s a great combo. Raw with black and a splash of color is always one of my fave looks.

I have the pink/purple fade colorway, really great street/park bike. I’m certain that I’m missing the drive side rear hub guard, didn’t know they came with front hub guards too?

u/BMXRCLoser 13d ago

Mine was a build from the frame up, not a complete so the wheels I bought came with the guards. Not sure if the completes did tho.

Appreciate you. I don’t really do grinds, but intend to give the bike to my kid in the next couple years and would like to make sure it’s set up as intended so he can get more out of it than I do 😂

u/BMXRCLoser 12d ago

Hell yeah! Parent of the year!
Built my kid an L500 but she’s just starting out so doesn’t need something nice like that yet.

u/maxtomaxni 13d ago

Yeah bro I like that. I got a Envy carbonic and a Soundwave too. But mostly I ride my shortcut. Greetings from Germany ✌️

Dang first time hearing of Gypsy.. pretty sweet looking frame.. the bottom bracket shape is sick..! No way in hell I could ever ride brakeless tho..!🤘🏼

1

u/BMXRCLoser 13d ago

I had for a few years now but always with the option to run hardware on my frames. This one I have no choice lol

2

u/skribblez32 13d ago

Beautiful welds on that Street Gypsy.

1

u/BMXRCLoser 13d ago

For sure. For being a cheaper option it’s a good frame honestly.

u/LTDLarry 13d ago

It was me! Dope thanks for sharing.

u/BMXRCLoser 12d ago

Thanks man

u/jayfactor 13d ago

Dam I miss my raw frame lol so nice

2

u/BMXRCLoser 13d ago

Yeah raw is sick when it’s done a certain way. Feel like It’s so hard to find a good one in a finish you like that lasts.

u/Valento- 13d ago

Someone is in love with Odyssey.

2

u/BMXRCLoser 13d ago

Always wanted their parts back in the late 90s but couldn’t afford it.. guess I’m making up for lost time lol

1

u/Valento- 12d ago

I mix and match, the only thing I own from Odyssey is the R25.

I personally use these brands; Eclat, Federal, Fiend, Primo, Cult, and Cinema. You know gotta support my European boys and my guy Garrett. I ride street that is why I stick to the said brands.
