I'm sorry. This frame is ugly, lacking, and overpriced.
I'm more amused by the ad copy. Not everyone in this market is a 20 something. Surly is equally to blame.
Using such descriptive terms as "urban bast**ard" and "F-in cool" may inspire the 15 yr old skateboarders to pump their fists, but they do not sell me a bike.
They also warn us that this bike will "piss a few people off."
I had no idea a bike frame could stir that kind of emotion.
Sometimes it's a combination of humor and frustration when having to wade through the equivalent of "teen beat" magazine when trying to discern various equipment.
