Bike Of The Day: Frank’s 2023 S Steel Panther BMX Bike

A 2023 S&M Steel Panther adds some more chromoly freshness to this months Bike Of The Day! Frank Runkle built a bike that’s ready for the track and the trails with this build and it has a nice clean look! Give it a rating via the sliders below for Bike Of The Month/Year.

I started racing BMX before aluminum bikes even became a thing, long before carbon. I recently bought my son his first micro mini so I wanted to build a race bike to ride with him that reminded me more of my early roots. My goal was to come up with a build that would look fast, light, and timeless all in one…with trust in mind for the trails! Went with black and polished/chrome. Did the best I could! Enjoy!
