Stridsland Beachcomber Frame

The Beachcomber is a playful, modern take on the classic 26” mountain bike. Built around the idea of merging BMX agility with MTB capability, it’s designed for pure fun and all-terrain adventure. Think of it as a bridge between retro style and modern function — with geometry that encourages fast handling, plenty of tire clearance, and a spacious front triangle for longer rides and loaded setups.

The frame is made from 4130 chromoly steel with a double-butted front triangle and stainless details, giving it both strength and timeless durability. Adjustable rocker dropouts, stealth dropper post routing, and external cable runs keep everything simple, reliable, and future-proof. With the included Barnacle Lite fork, thru-axles, and a generous range of mounts, the Beachcomber is ready for whatever you throw at it — from local trails to fully loaded adventures.

This is a frame for riders who want the soul of a 90s MTB with the capabilities of today.
