Oh hell yes! BMW just put out their press release for their new trick frameset, the Launchpad on their blog. Great name! This Jeremiah's from Hold Fast.
Details below.
"The Launchpad" is our new "trick specific/700cmx/fixed freestyle" frame. The first frames are nearing completion and should be trickling out to paint in the next week. All of the first batch is spoken for but some will be available in shops that have preordered them. Our friends in LA, Orange 20 are first on the list to have some in stock. The bros at WBASE, Chari & Co. and Tokyo Fixed Gear are all on the list to have frames soon too. If you can't get your hands on one from this first run, we will be taking orders for the next, hopefully to be completed in the very near future.
Want more information? Head over to the BMW blog to read all about it.
Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but this is different from the Brooklyn Element right?

This is the same frame as the "Element" bike just under our own name. The Brooklyn Element collab is still in effect, and a lot of stuff is in the works, but this frame isn't exclusive to that.

bmw took quite a departure from the gangsta... that frame looks like a real "bruiser" though
