I realize I'm a bit late to the Urbanite bashing party, but I also have one (the lugged road frame which almost no one has) and yeah I wouldn't recommend it, especially for the price. The main problem with them in my view (and there are several problems) is the inconsistency. Even if you get a "track frame" or "road frame" or whatever, it does not guarantee what the geometry/fit will be at all. I heard a horror story of a "53" having a 57cm top tube! They are basic tubed frames with poorly thought out and inconsistent geometry (mine is bizzarro) for a price that could get you something nicer. Hell fork out a bit more and get an IRO.
