Frames With Tight Geometry
Hey,
I'm currently riding an Affinity Lo Pro, but am looking for a second frame to build.
I don't want another pursuit frame, but would like to find a frame that has tight geometry (tight wheel clearance/short toptube/steep downtube & seat tube)
Edit: Forgot to add i'm looking for a Steel frame!
Could you guys list the brands and/or individual frames you know of?
New or used, doesn't matter to me!
Thanks!
Joe

If I didn't like it, I wouldn't ride it.

I want a Bareknuckle myself, but you could also look on ebay for a NJS frame.

seems like most of the bikes on NJS export are fairly flawless except for a minor dent that puts them out of racing commission. Has nothing to do with a hip factor haha, I just want to build up a clean bike with tight geometry!

The BK was specifically designed to withstand everyday riding on the street, whereas NJS frames were designed to be ridden on a smooth surface in a controlled environment. Not to say that NJS frames are "fragile" but the BK's tubing will take a lot more abuse.

It's the exact same as the Bare Knuckle but has a 1" head tube and is made of different steel tubing. It is also made in Japan by Toyo instead of Italy.
The Godzilla was designed for the track and has a recommended rider weight limit of 175 lbs. The BK was designed as a tougher "street" version of the Godzilla.
