It's still there if you don't mind the color and the toptube length.

Mid way down, picture of the face that says frame sale git'r'done. I would pull the trigger on one if it was in the right size for me, but it's too big and I'm kinda tapped for funds at the moment.

The question is, does the color make up for the toptube length... Tough call. It's a mid BB too, and my cranks are euro.
I think unless I change my mind, I'm going to pass on it even though it's a great deal. Having a nice frame and cranks isn't worth being completely broke again.

And talking about funky plaid.
..So I was browsing around and saw the Eastern Grim Reaper and was wondering why they have gapping holes in the bike along with almost every other product they have.

You guys need to go to hell for making me want that thing..
If I'm broke, I can't get new kicks and threads, and if I don't have new kicks and threads, chicks will be like "oh, look at that ratty ****er with no steez".
Plus I just spent about 600 bucks on photo gear today... if I get my selling-photos-to-team/rider-parents hustle on, I'll make some money with the stuff, and then I can get bike stuff.

Laugh out loud.
Not going to lie though, i'd ride one of their frames if it was free or super cheap.
One of the people i ride with got one of the first Grim Reapers when it came out, and then Eastern pulled them all back to fix something, meanwhile they sent him a brand new Dragon frame to ride and ended up letting him keep it after he got his new Grim back. Good warranty.

When i rode my friend's bike (who coincidently killed his Animal Hamiltons) they didn't feel grippy at all. And we were at the skatepark, not even the muddy trails.
I love my Wellgo Mg52's. They seem to be perfect.

It's because they have NASCAR technology (AutoCAD) that allows them to sell stupid products to stupid people, without issue.
