Low Bikes

Hi all. Opinion on Low Bike frames, Mk series? He's back ordered, but is it worth the wait? Thanks!

This is not a question for framebuilders. You should ask riders, maybe in the "General Cycling Discussion" forum. Frambuilders typically ride their own bikes, they don't buy custom frames from other FBs.
Considering the vow of poverty we take to be FBs, we can't afford anyone else's custom!
I've never even heard of a Low, so you should provide a link so people know what you're talking about.

Thanks! Andrew Low makes high-end aluminum frames, one at a time, "small batch" so to speak. Hence, I thought this might be a topic for framebuilders. Here's a link to his site: https://www.lowbicycles.com/

Cool, thanks, will have a look.

I am not a moderator here and I don't make the rules. I will back off from telling people what to do!

I don't care if Mr. Bulgier wants to tell people a thread doesn't belong, saves me from having to do it.

Usually we move threads like this. I agree, I have very little idea about other framebuilders and I hesitate to recommend anyone.

I've seen several Low frames, mostly CX frames at local Nor Cal races. Always been impressed with them but have never ridden one.

I thought a "low" frame meant some new kind of geometry like "long low slack"

When I read the subject line I first thought of "Low Rider" bikes. Andy

I'm sensitive about lowrider bikes right now after a kerfuffle in the alt bike forum
