Replacement Frames for the YBOD

tflaris · 23rd January 2007, 01:46

Anyone out there know of a replacement frame either travel or permanent frame that would replace the plastic box on the Evo and is made in the US? I am looking to use a standard backplate wing and harness.

Thanks

I have made a few for the guys here (not quite made in the usa though) pm me with your email and I can send you some pics unless some of the computer savy types can tell me how to post pics?

Enrique Alvarez at Diving Equipment Specialties(<-link) makes a very solid and well build frame.

Keep an eye out for a used Decoweenie Travelframe - there must be a few doing the rounds in the US. I've just put my Vision into mine - haven't dived it yet, but it looks much, much, slicker than before.

Cheers,

the frame slook nice and he is located Stateside which would reduce shipping export cost. Would the Frame work with an Evo?
