RYD Masher Pro
Anyone have any experience or knowledge on this frame?
I'm planning for a new build and was wondering how it compares to other framesets around the same price range.

But seriously, I was looking at their website. They only offer their frames in like 1 or 2 sizes. Lamo. Hope you can fit on a 53 or 55 with a 120 headtube...

RYD - formerly known as Red Your Dead. They've been made fun of a bunch here but their new frames do look much better than what they were putting out in the beginning.
Why do you bother posting?

kissena seems to be the only one with the extended seatmast.
relating to the thread -
1. it looks good, pretty nice.
2. 700 is too high. leader would be a good idea, or hell, a pista concept.
3. 2 sizes? :|

700 is way high IMO. I'd agree with Scrod here, just get a leader.

I do better welds than that and I've only practiced welding for <5 hours.
Also, that "beer can" head tube makes it look like a Visp or something.

The welds remind me of my previous 2009 leader 735tr... but a bit worse.
One thing I noticed, when I saw the frame in person, was that the top tube was rectangular (trapezoidal?). How would that affect the characteristics of the frame? Is just for aesthetics?

I think the design is ok (minus the head tube) but the manufacturing was poorly executed.
And whoever thought that frame would sell at $700 is mistaken.
