Before going on- let me mention that the current frame design is totally functional and we have a lot of happy customers with it. We have sold over 150 frames to date, and feel good about the design overall.

The next batch of frames are expected in late January- this will have the standard reach brake mounts F+R, the bottle cage mount on the down-tube is being moved up 20mm, and the top tube brake mounts are being removed. Everything else will stay the same.

Same tubing- 4130 chromoly with a butted top tube. No lugs at this point. What we are after is a very inexpensive bike that holds up well and can be built into a lot of different styles. I am not against having a higher-end model sometime, but for now I think this is filling a demand out there for a great priced entry-level fixed frame.
Once again- thanks for all the great discussion- we really appreciate it!
