I didn't find that bike shop. Sun had the right address but wrong location on the map. I went by the location on the map without checking if it matches the address, duh Since traffic was mad in that area and getting worse plus VERY dense pedestrian presence I gave up. I'll try again tomorrow.

Intriguing. If they're known for building tough and reliable bikes this could make a dent in Surly's sales. I would certainly consider this frame unless it has some showstopping deficiency compared to Big Dummy. I mean just the frame, I know the components are inexpensive. I'm not crazy about the looks but if it is a solid frame, then this would be a heck of a deal, in particular if the frameset is available for like $400.

I was seriously considering the Yuba Mundo for a while, despite its weight. But two things made me look somewhere else: "one size fits all" and the strange threaded headset.

I like competition

BTW, I can see few minor issues with this frame: the seat is a little too far back compared to most bikes, not sure how that will affect the ride and there are no bottle attachment points in the normal places since there is no main triangle, there is just one in the front that doesn't look like it'll fit an oversized (long) bottle. Nitpicking, I know, but I've been wanting an Xtracycle for a while and I'm a little obsessed I should have bought the last year's Big Dummy frame when it was priced at closeout prices under $600
