I posted this last night... anyways, yes, it's broken.
Time for a T1 Ruben or Macneil Heaton 2. Does anybody know what the smallest gear ratio I can run with this frame is? The Joe frame can fit 28/10.

How did you snap the general? And I like T-1's as well, but why not get a nice new Sunday! frame or one of the newer frames?

About $100 cheaper for the T1 or the Macneil. If anybody has some other suggestions for frames with 20" toptube and full chromo, lets hear them.
Also, I dont know what made it go, I just came off of a little hip jump at the skatepark and it cracked right behind the BB.

This is what you get for riding one of those, seeing as how they're low-grade Taiwanese crap now, as opposed to the good US-built ones of old.

The point is also that American frames are made better than the crap you get from Taiwan... ever wonder wonder why stuff from Taiwan is cheaper?

What the ****, now it says I started the thread?
OK, I'll stop spamming it now. How much would an S&M Stricker cost there?

The stricker will be about the same price.
Right now it's beetween the t1 and the macneil.

Where exactly do you see the Heaton 2? I looked on danscomp and they don't have the Heaton.. I look on Albes and they say that it is being redesigned.. where exactly do you see it?

Need I remind you that the Sunday frame has a lifetime warranty against breakage. Sure you might have to save a little longer, but you get what you pay for.
Plus there will be some special limited edition '07 models around X-mas. I wont say anymore.... Jim C. will reveal more info in due time...
