just picture the frame with your crap on there instead of full dura and then picture yourself $475 poorer.

Hand made in the US, although I don't really think it's possible for a competent manufacturer to screw up a welded frame no matter what their location.

fork looks nice, but there's no way i can take affinity seriously anymore.
75 degree headtube. got it
fork rake: 45 degrees. what is that a ****ing lowrider bike fork?
i'm assuming they mean an offset of 45mm, which is a hell of a lot for 75 DEGREE HEADTUBES. the trail on that has to be garbage.

If they are like BD MSRP, it means the frameset only costs about $250.
Tough crew here--- although I agree that it is a bit odd to try pushing these frames at this price without using a branded tubeset. What advantages does this have over a Soma Rush, for example?

it is a crappy pic set.
And the rake on the fork is odd for the steep ht angle. Should be like 38mm or even less. I call that a lack of design care.
Fork does look pretty nice.
DON'T TALK SH*T ABOUT TOTAL or the lo-pro. That's a sexy beast of a bike.
