Fuji Obey....is it really that bad?
I've been wanting to get rid of my KHS Flite 100 frame for awhile now b/c I hate the fender eyelets and have been wanting a lugged frame. I waited for the lugged Kilo since they first announced it, but now that they're here, I'm not digging any of the initiale colors. Who know when they'll release more colors and if I'll like any of them.
I've come across a killer deal on a used Fuji Obey complete. I know there's alot of hate on the Fuji x Obey because of the collabo, selling out, blah blah. I like it b/c of the matte color, subtle graphics, Maxway, and classic look since it's lugged with threaded fork/headset and streamlined w/o any braze-ons/bosses/etc... Also has a some nice parts, such as the Miche Primato cranks and Brooks Swift saddle.
Apparently it's basically an SE, but is it PB or PA? It's listed as cromo, but does anyone know what kind exactly? Also, is it really that bad in terms of anything real like geo/durability/etc... or is it just general hipster hate for the Obey association?
