I don't have any experience with Framed. But I did own a Kink Launch, and looking over the specs I can't help but think the Launch is much better BMX. With the kink you are getting Cro-Mo Forks and a sealed headset and BB. If you were to go out and buy those parts for the Framed you would spend far more then the $100 msrp price difference between the bikes. The kink also has brand named parts like "Mission" though they are at the bottom end. But with the Framed, the rims are no-name single wall pinned rims. Pinned rims are usually a bad idea if you are over 120 pounds and want to jump your bike. I also think that the cranks look nicer on the Kink.
