I might pull the trigger on a Fetish Position Cross frame.
Does anyone have any experience with these?

I don;t have any experience with the Position, but I rode a Disipline Mountain Frame for a couple of years. For the price I found it to be a good deal. Strong frame, well made, good finish, just don't expect a lightweight.

I have an Inizio road frame. Well-made, very strong and stiff, but the welds are ugly and the decals are tasteless. The decals are so bad it almost merits a repaint. But if you get a good price, go for it, they are nice frames.

You know, $499 doesn't really seem like that great of a bargain for a frame that ugly, without a fork. Looking around on eBay, there are lots of complete cyclocross bikes for a little more than that, and top-shelf frames for ~$300.

Fetish frames always go for less than the website price. I got mine on eBay for $38, new. The prices on the website seem to be intended to make the eBay prices look better than they are.

$38 ? And I thought I was getting a deal for $79!

Actually still think it was a good value.

I've been learning more about the angles, and they are insanely agressive. Decided to pass on it, it looks someone screwed up a production run.

For $50 that would make an awesome 1x9 commuter.
