New EighthInch frame
Just saw the frame posted on twitter. I'm a little bit dubious because EighthInch makes decent, not great, frame. But since I was looking at getting a Leader735 this appeals to me.

It looks pretty decent and has just a little bit different geometry from the leader but my view is that if you don't want to drop the bucks on the Leader frames you can get an okay frame that looks the same.
Concur? Disagree?

You can't have any kind of code in your sig without a premium membership. I guess a handful of people were using it to advertise, and ruined it for everyone.

Your cog is slipping.
That frame is disgusting. The dropouts look like an afterthought.
