I recognize Isaac and others make and design their own frames, but the fit and finish on the Isaac at the dropouts isn't any better than on my Mongoose. Plus the decals on my Mongoose are under the clearcoat which is a nice touch. The ride will be a lot different though with the huge diameter tubes. We'll see.
2 things I've never seen:

- decals on top of clearcoat on a frame
- any Bicycling review that contained any negativity.

I love the look of the Isaac frame, disappointed they don't seem to pay attention to detail that I would expect
