I go to the shop today on my lunchbrake to get this one really annoying creak checked out, I've greased everything, tightend everything and got nothing out of it.
The verdict: The shop suspects a crack in my chainstay/bb junction, I cant feel any flex and I heavent done a koolaid test to figure it out but it sounds plausible. Just as I get the bike feeling the way I like it and looking the way I like it.
How are Eastern Reaper frames?
The Reaper is fine, the Grim Reaper sucks

After looking at the Grim Reaper frame, all I can say is wow.
there had to of been other ways to save weight other then removing large portions of the frame.

I havent ridden one, I would like too though. I bet I'd be able to own one with no problems, I'm a light guy, and I ride pretty smooth. I would never get one though, too expencive and too light. I rode my friends sunday frame and it felt so wierd, it was sooooo light. I think his whole bike weighted in at around 23 or 24 lbs.

I really like how the seat clamps though.... If i had extra time on my hands i would try to modify my frame to clamp like that.

Update!!!
It was cracked quite nicley, but A guy at the shop pulled through and I got me the exact same frame (color and all) for a case of beer. The frame is even in damn near the same condition.

I have a new job from Monday so I will finally have money to buy a complete and start again... i hope i'm not too old! I don't know what to get as price won't play a huge part.
I'm only 5'5 but weigh 154lbs ripped.
I'm 22 but does age matter?

Fit Flow has brakes.

Both of the flow frames allow brakes to be used. The Flow has regular u-brake mounts and the Flow Street has caliper ones as far as I know.

I have not ridden a reaper, but I've heard that Eastern has quality control issues, so I wouldn't trust them
