Adriano---I know it's terrible. Haha. It's just that w/ nice steel I can tell such a difference. Especially when pumping up a hill.

Sputnik does have a low BB, but I run w/ 165mm cranks and I haven't had a single pedal strike (and I like to take some tight corners)

I didn't think about bareknuckle or geekhouse though. Those are both really cool. My friend has a BK and it is a nice looking bike...feels great too. I thought they discontinued it, though?
