Is this a decent frame?
 

I have always done conversions up to this point but I want to treat myself to a new singlespeed frame. Anyone have experience with this company or brand? It retails for ~300$ CAN but I can get it for about a third of that price. Is it worth getting? Link is below

Thanks in advance

I've never heard of it. For $300 you could get something someone has heard of.

there's almost nothing said about the frame. no details what so ever. the only thing i can see is that the fork is lugged. but other than that I myself probably wouldn't go for it. Why not treat yourself to a better frameset?

The OP said that he could get the frame for 1/3 the price or around $100 CAN; that does not seem a bad price on the frame but I agree that more details would be helpful.

The OP said he can get it for the third of the price. I know we are bad with math in the States so I will break it down: a third of $300 is $100. Brand new frame for $100 is a good deal, even if its Canadian dollar : )

canadian dollar is 99% equivilent to our dollar.

~300
about a third

pretty sure he's not getting it for 100 bucks with words like those.

equivalent... Equivalent... Equivalent

problem? typo? how can I live with myself.

You're really whiny on some days more than others.

what does it mean if the fork is 'lugged'? why would you yourself not go for it?

The price I would get would be 120$ CAN flat, with next day shipping. I am on a budget, so what frame would you suggest that I treat myself to?

Are you moving all the other components off an existing bike? If not and you are really on a budget then a complete bike would be much better.

26.4 seatpost diameter

go find something else - like the Leader posted above

Damn, $150 for 722's? Although I have heard of people having problems that the tubing was too thin? Never know until you try I guess. Damn good deal

Hogwash.

Shipping to Canada from City Grounds is $80+ American. Just an FYI.

sorry but that frame is obviously not on the bfssfg approved list...

For that price I'd build it.

Dat Leader. I almost want to move on that. Such a good deal.

Yeah I have components already, just need a frame. The shipping does seem pretty steep though. Is that 722 a freestyle frame?

no

Still curious as to what 'lugged' refers to.

Does Google work in Canada?

You are right. I Should do my own searching before I ask for advice on this board. Clearly your time is too valuable to respond in a constructive manner.

oh, clearly. it's not that we don't like dealing with people who refuse to do their own research -

we just hate everyone.

seriously (& please note that i did not say srsly)...there may be a lot of dicks & posthoors on this forum but have you been hanging around here (& bikes, in general, i presume) for over a year & are looking for a frame to build a bike from scratch & you really do not know what lugged means?

Anyways, I decided not to buy, doesn't seem like a good deal based on the advice offered here. Thanks again!
