Best Tall Order BMX Frames
Fun fact: Tall Order is a UK-based brand by Sebastian Keep. He was 36 when he launched the BMX brand and received very positive feedback.
Sebastian is also running a very successful YouTube channel under the brand’s name.
1. 315
The Tall Order 315 V2 frame is a longer frame with top tube options of only 21.25” and 21.5”.
The second version of this frame sees an 8.8” standover and a 13.75” rear end length.
The longer rear-end length combined with a lower 11.6″ bottom bracket height and a 75-degree head tube angle make this a frame that is not only very well-rounded but also more on the stable side.
The frame is drilled for gyro tabs with removable chainstay brake mounts included with purchase.
315 specs:
- Top Tube Length – 21.25″, 21.5″
- Head Tube – 75°
- Seat Tube Angle – 71°
- ChainStay Length – 13.75″

- Price: $461.12 (may vary)
2. 187
The 187 V3 frame from Tall Order features one of the shortest top tubes available in the modern BMX park frame geometry space. It’s 19.75” at its shortest size.
The frame has built-in chain tensioners in the dropouts with all removable brake hardware (included!).
It has a super low 7.5″ stand-over height with a short chainstay at 12.8″ when slammed, which nestles it nicely within this category.
187 specs:

3. 215
The 215 V3 frame is an exclusive solution that’ll keep all your skatepark, dirt and transition riding sorted.
Being the third iteration of this frame, there are a few changes present.
For example, it has a bend and tapered chainstays that make room for a 31T sprocket.
The frame features external gussets on both the top and down tubes and built-in chain tensioners to the dropouts.
Removable brake mounts and hardware are present, with the brake kit included with the frame.
215 specs:
- Top Tube Length – 20.6″, 21″
- Head Tube – 75°

4. 360
Tall Order’s 360 frame is the company’s budget option coming in at a very affordable price.
The geometry on the 360 is just between their 215 and 187 frames so it is also a nice middle ground between the two.
The frame has external gussets on both the top and bottom tubes as well as removable brake mounts/gyro tabs (included with the frame).
The tubing on the frame is plain gauge 4130 where only the head tube, bottom bracket, and dropouts are heat-treated for extra strength.
360 specs:
- Top Tube Length – 20.5″, 21″
- Head Tube – 75°
- Seat Tube Angle – 71°
- ChainStay Length – 13″ Slammed
- Standover – 8″
- BB Height – 11.6″
- Weight – 5 lbs 2.4oz / 20.5″
- Price: $330.35 (may vary)
