The S&M Whammo V2 (Craig Passero) Frame is a green, street-focused bike frame with "Whammo" on the side and a higher bottom bracket designed for agile urban rides.

The S&M Whammo V2 (Craig Passero) Frame, designed for urban exploits, features a higher bottom bracket and is showcased in vibrant red against a crisp white background.

The S&M Whammo V2 (Craig Passero) frame, a green BMX bike frame with "S&M Bikes" branding, offers a responsive back end and ample sprocket clearance for smooth rides.

Description

The Whammo V2 is Craig Passero's heavily street focused frame, now with a shorter 12.9″ back end, a taller 5″ head tube and a bottom bracket raised to 11.8″. The taller head tube means fewer spacers and a cleaner setup, the shorter back end makes it more responsive, and the higher bottom bracket improves sprocket clearance when grinding.

The rest is tried and true from the first Whammo: butted ThermalX tubing, an integrated head tube and seat clamp, 14mm 4Q-baked dropouts and thread-on 990 brake mounts sold separately. It comes in 20.75″ and 21″ top tubes and weighs 2.12 kg.

Features

Shorter 12.9″ back end. Adjustable out to 13.5″, with the short setting making the frame more responsive under your feet.
Taller 5″ head tube. Fewer spacers under the stem gives a cleaner setup and gets the bars where you want them.
11.8″ bottom bracket. Raised to improve sprocket clearance when grinding, with an 8.85″ standover to swing a leg over.
Butted ThermalX tubing, 2.12 kg. Light for a street frame, with an integrated head tube and integrated seat clamp keeping the build tidy.
14mm 4Q-baked dropouts. Thread-on 990 brake mounts are sold separately and there are no gyro tabs, so you choose the setup.

Colour - Trans Red

Top Tube Length - 21

Frames are sized by top tube length. Start with your height, then let riding style decide where in the range you land.

Rider height	Top tube
147 to 157cm	19.75 to 20.25"
157 to 168cm	20 to 20.5"
168 to 175cm	20.25 to 20.75"
175 to 183cm	20.5 to 21"
183 to 190cm and up	20.75 to 21.5"

The height bands overlap on purpose. If you land in two of them, riding style breaks the tie: longer for flow, trails and transitions, shorter for technical street and park. Plenty of riders, pros included, deliberately ride longer than a chart suggests.

How to measure

Top tube is measured from the centre of the seat tube to the centre of the head tube, so it is not the length of the tube you can see. Measure your current frame that way and compare.

Size up for stability through trails and transitions.
Size down if you want the bike quick and twitchy for spins and grinds.
Top tube is fixed once you buy, but chainstay length, stem length, fork offset and bar position all change how the built bike feels.
