No es una marca "comercial", se trata de un pequeño fabricante con base en Sudafrica ( ese país con diamantes y petroleo...y ciudades que te hacen recordar a Centro Europa, y que en los 80s tenia categoria Profesional ).
SALVO es el resultado de leer todos los BMX ACTION por 2 preadolescentes en la era previa a Internet, y hacerse pajas mentales hasta que ese exceso de Bicycle Motocross acumulado en el cortex cerebral se descargó, unas decadas después, en forma de cuadros de altisima calidad.
A continuación una galeria del una de las escasas unidades de 24" ,terminada en raw, para que podais
apreciar los detalles constructivos.
Este es el intro que tienen en su FB :
Salvo is a South African bmx frame maker. It all started almost 30 years ago when two kids picked up riding their bmxes after school. A pretty normal thing for any 13 year old kid around the world. We however came from a very conservative town where bmx was dead. The only contact to the rest of the riding world was BMX Action magazine which we ripped apart from cover to cover. Those days there was no Internet or videos. We were 2 kids who were in their own world. After years of learning and studying BMX (and riding off course) we still have the same fire and passion for riding. Our roots are set in racing but we like to dabble in the freestyle scene too. Riding a bike was never only one discipline to us. Now that we are "grown up"(sort of) we have the skills and means to pursue frame building. We aim to make bikes that appeal to us first and hopefully our designs will be liked by the rest of the scene too. With new psych and approach to the business of building bikes we hope to see more Salvo riders on race tracks and trails in 2012.
