The "cromo" is not seamless, I can clearly see the welds. The reinforced headtube, is nice, but so what? The drop-outs are the same Maxway ones used on a BD frame that retails for $249 shipped. So yes, you can get all those for that price point, and get a nice fork in the process as well. IRO, BD, Surly, Alien, Soma, and many others all offer more for your money than this 183rd St. deal.
