I have an Urbanite frame. I am of mixed opinions about it.

Plus side:
-it has been reliable for a few years-and I break a lot of frames
-it is fairly practical as an every day bike, sort of a hybrid/cyclecross/MTB halfbreed

Down side:
-my frame has some design flaws. They may have addressed these in the last couple of years, I don't know: the shifter cable stops are mounted on the head tube, and this makes it impossible to use a centerpull cantilever. Works OK with a V brake, but still not ideal. You get small radius bends in the housing no matter what. The front fork is really narrow, so that you can't fit brake pads next to the rim. I had to cut my pads down, causing squeeling and poor performance-eventually I got a new fork. The water bottle bosses on the seat tube were placed poorly, so that it interfered with the front deraileur band clamp. Had to grind it down and clamp over it.
-the frame is HEAVY. I estimate over 7 lb. Really, this is excessive. The thing is a tank
-the quality is less than stellar. Mediocre welds, very poor quality paint that chips easily. For 290 USD you can get a *way* nicer frame elsewhere.
-finally, the bike does not handle very well. It handles pretty much like a MTB-because, you guessed it, it has pretty much MTB geometry. Which leads you to wonder, why don't I just buy a nice aluminum MTB frame for 100 bucks?


Bottom line, I would not buy another one, but it does it's job. I was expecting better, and the sales staff led me to believe the bike had road geometry. When I measured it though, I found otherwise. My bike is around 72.5 deg ST angle, 70.5 HT angle, and with the stock fork it had something like 8cm of trail (too much)
