Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Yes it is, ground up are known for using square tubing.
Also that post has to be a scam.

It's not unusual I think, my cheap hybrid has similar tubing on the chainstay.

But I wouldn't take that bike even if the seller paid me 2000 dollars.

Why not just buy a Giant if you're going to copy the geometry?

yeah, his shiz is whack.



Builds custom tandems for Da Vinci, plus close to 200 bikes out of his own shop. I would consider that a "real" builder.
