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

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 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.

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.

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?
