I suppose one philly kid could drive out and haul all the philly/nyc or other pickup in person frames back and save on shipping.

I don't know what makes y'all think a $161 dollar frame would look attractive with a clear coat finish. Cover that **** up! I'm open to non-neon color ideas but nothing boring please. If you want a frame in an unintersting color there are plenty to choose from.

i don't think this would place undue burden on tony, and i think it would be acceptable to the highest number of people. thus maximizing the number of buyers, and minimizing price.

I would be in only if it was something along the lines of the above colors, but otherwise probably not. And I'd only want the Angus. I think threadless stems are ______(adj)

No wei...it'd have to be brown or tan
And is this for real? Cause I'd love a solid steel frame with decent geometry for $161...maybe 0° rake fork. And no logo on it. It will just come with a set of rub on lettering

(not quite finished. Paint stripping's a b****)
If they can do a non-paint job like this I'm up for it (or white/black, battleship but not neon)
If they can get an angus chrome painted, then hell yes.

doodoo brown or grey Angus for the "tasteful" crowd and eye-searing yellow Mark V cheapie for the rest of us? I'm down with no paint/powder if we seriously can't agree on this but I think that's sorta silly

name: 8bitevolution
frame: angus
size: 53cm
color: Flat anything rocks. Especially black. Yeah, I'm boring.
Lime green or some kind of orange would be cool, also. Pretty much anything that's not neon.

Color: Any crazy neon ****, not as much interested in drabber colors
Size: 56 or whatever frame size fits like a 56
Frame choice: Mark V, but the angus wouldn't necessarily be a dealbreaker.

how does the sizing work? on the website, it says that a "59cm" has a 55cm(c-c) seat tube. I've always called a bike with a 55cm seat tube a 55cm. why would they call it a 59cm?
