SE Racing Premium frame good?
 
Hello guys,
I'm going to build a fixed gear and was wondering if a the SE racing Premium frame would be a good fit for a fixed gear. I've tried browsing/searching around and I haven't found any reviews (also none fo the stores in my area seems to carry it :[). I found it for ~$300 and was wondering if it a good frame or nor. (sorry if this is the incorrect forum).

seems like the premium might be the best out of the three they make as far as i know, people have done good things with the lager bike

the fact that SE has the Draft makes me question all of their products :(

ah the draft.

But the premium looks like any basic lugged 4130 frame. I don't think 300 is a bad price for what it is but for that money i would go with the lugged frame from bike island

i bought a lager frame, put a carbon fork on it and am very happy w/ it. I hated the draft and worried about it being an SE frame, but its nothing like the draft. Its not heavy and worked out great as a seconary rain/beater bike. you can see it in my flickr.

I have been wanting to take the dive and buy that frame too. It does look nice, and I am happy with my SST (lager frame). The only thing holding me back is i'm not sure I like the green yet.

The lugged frame from bike island(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200240992568) is the the frame I'm looking at. I believe that it is the SE Premium (from the color scheme and lugged look along with the the lettering on the drops).

I also have been considering this frame and have associated it with the Premium Brew frame. One and the same, I am thinking.

yeap they are for sure the same frame. bikeisland stocks the lager frame and this frame has the same specs/geo as the premium brew.

Thanks guys! I decided to go with the frame from bike island and hopefully it'll ship out soon. Now I just gotta read up and buy all the other parts. Although are there any recommendations for a reltively inexpensive crankset?
