| AS A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC MAY I PLEASE ASK THAT THESE "CHILDREN" REFRAIN FROM LEAVING ABSOLUTLY
UNCONSTRUCTIVE DISMISSIVE COMMENTS ABOUT A FRAME THAT CLEARLY OFFERS VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY, AND IN ALL LIKELYLHOOD IS OF A HIGH SPECIFICATION THAT THE FRAMES WITH WHICH YOU STARTED TO RIDE ON.
I HAVE BOUGHT ONE, AND IT FULFILLS MY REQUIREMENTS ADEQUATLY, IN ITS SERVICE AS A COMMUTER BIKE IN LONDON.
ADMITTEDLY NOT AS SWEET AS MY WHYTE 46, BUT AT LEAST MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE BIKE BEING NICKED IN THE CITY ARE AT EASE, AND THE BIKE IS LIGHTER THAN IT LOOKS ANYWAY.
SUB 28lb BUILT WITH A PAIR OF DUKE SL's AND DEORE GROUPSET (OTHER THAN CASSETTE). NOT BAD ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
GROW UP GUYS.

| This frame is 20 quid people! Do not expect a Curtis! I bought this and built it up with old bike stuff that i have no other use for (a trek bruiser rigid, husslefelts, wellgo's and other low quality kit which i had kicking about) to ride about as a commuting bike, as i was continually worried about my DMR Transition (20mm Gold Labels, MTX's on saint hubs, saint front and rear brakes, profile cranks and ring, nokian xxx tyres, macneil seat+post combo, King headset, brooklyn machine works shimburger pedals and bar ends, Easton bar and stem, lockon longnecks, shadow con chain) getting nicked or damaged. Buy it! Its the price of a new chain!! |

| I bought one of these a couple of months ago to upgrade my winter steed (which had a threaded bb shell). Used it for a fair few miles now, and it's been good. Last weekend, did a bit of a marathon ride round Rothiemurchus forest and Inshriach bothy - it behaved really well. The steering is a bit slow compared to my other bikes though (it's quite a long frame). All in all, I'm impressed - especially for the money! |

| Just built up one of these frames for the missus as she wasnt sure if she would use a bike much.
The frames is light and surprisingly well built.
This is not a hardcore frame but for a budget build for light trails its a good un. |
