H+Son FRAME!!!!!!

hi everyone im new and have been fixie riding and tricking for a little while now, i've got some H+Son wheels on my bike and they're so awesome. now look at this, H+Son is making a frame!!! It's awesome looking kind of. it would be cooler in some colors but it's still prototyping. what do you all think? trickable?



found the information on fixed gear london and they directed me to www.ta rck bi ke . com

seems like the price will be around $600 which is a bit pricey for a new/unknown framebuilder and for a taiwanese frame...aluminum taiwanese frame... oh well you all decide. DISCUSS!

seems weird to me that a guy (new in rims) is trying to make a frame...

i also read he's not even being original, and steeling geometry. law suit?

You definitely cannot get sued for using the same geo as another bike. Are you serious? The only way you could get sued is if you used same color as well as Cannondale logos, etc. I think it's sweet there is a C-dale replica finally. Those bikes are amazing. If I had the cash, I would definitely buy this frame. I would put a CF fork on it, though.

I'm not trolling whatever that means. I don't work for the company. Here are the new (unreleased low pro H+Son rims!) ON THE VERY FIRST PROTOTYPE BIKE. Courtesy london fg/ss

i'd hate to break it to you, but i don't think you can barspin with this frame

i'm more excited to see an aluminum bike without an integrated headset on the market

It's not the frame, but the bars. Put some flat bars on it and barspins should work.

Look how close the front wheel is to the downtube, and then look at the fork rake. There's no way in hell there's wheel clearance for barspins on this frame.

Sweet, I hope they can get the welds smoothed up a bit more to make a seamless transition between tubes, I love the H+Son rims. I second the **** looking fork though.

If you have wide aluminum tubing in the frame, then a spindly steel fork looks like the unused legs of a paraplegic. For the $600 frame set, I want more than that! It needs a carbon fork.

I know you are reading this H+Sons. You keep track of these forums as we provide amazing feedback faster than sales figures ever could. If Leader can produce a well built frame and carbon fork for about $400, I am sure that you, based in China (or is it Taiwan, I thought you were mainland China) can produce better for less, as being as you have less overheads (you have no offices in the states, no CS support staff in the US. Just you guys over there).

I would prefer to hear directly from you, not this quasi-leaked-info stuff from the London SSFG forum. Just like the Leader dude does. I know you have an account on this forum, I have seen you post here before.

i don't like that the frame doesn't have a support between the rear triangle tubes...seat tubes?
i would think this would make the rear triangle a bit weaker
