I've two Tange Prestige bikes, one is a Bridgestone MB-1, the other is a parkpre team bike that I just built up single-speed for my partner. Both ride exceptionally well, but both were also built with significanly more care than any soma frame.

This just in : apparently my prestige mountain bike was built by tom teesdale. No wonder it rides so nicely.

Don't matter. Except for the Pake, which is clearly junk. I like the Bareknuckle (or as this cute girl from NYC I met one time says "bareknuckler"). Fit and finish are excellent, nice tight geos, pretty fork (too bad about the brakehole), and crazy colors (yes, the pink one is hot). From what I've been told, not Tiawanese. Yes, an actual track-specific frame, made in Italy, by real Italians, for around $550. Good.

anypics of the pink nuckle?

I just sent you a link to the speedgoat webiste. Check it out before reposting.

chick frame,nice

I don't like the look of straight-bladed forks personally, but otherwise the bareknuckle is nice. I got my rush frame and fork for $390. When it moves to tange, will the price go up?

Um, I was mis-quoted, or that was taken out of context. I was drunk, or something.

Go on, try it, it's fun!

Sometimes I wish I was that fixed like dog guy. Then you'd pay...

Word.

Huh?

what???

Treechunk, I have to leave now, but there's a part of me that will always love you.
