I've been looking at frames to build my first fixie. I'm looking to spend 300-500 on the frame. So far the Soma Rush seems the most likely candidate, but I'm interested in knowing what else you guys would recommend...

nothing over the rush in that price point. great frame, great steal, great geometry. IMO any step up from a rush will be twice the price.

Alien...and **** anyone who says "it's only 4130" that's bull**** because in all honesty it doesn't ****ing matter. The alien is fully lugged, better geometry, better looking, comes in a better selection of colors, and has gotten great reviews. **** the rush
