just thought i'd test out a lighter, steeper frame than my 3amigos, and was able to pick up this frame off a team guy for 130, with a brand new fsa headset i needed anyways, so i'll just say $100...figured why not.
i forgot my 22mm mid bb in San Diego, so i had to rip the one out of my fuse 4, and also use the cranks and sprocket, and ultimately the pedals. Also, my chain was too short, so i bought a new one anyways since i figured its only 10 bucks and its the only thing besides the fraem that i'm buying, but that was too long... so im running in the back of hte dropouts,with a way slack chain.
once i get a half link, i'll be able to slam it, and then actually compare it to the 3amigos. i think the cranks/sprocket/pedals are significantly heavier than my fly's, so the half pound i saved from the frame really didnt mean much. although this frame is a 20.75, having hte wheel all the way at the back of the dropouts just makes it seem a little long...but thats only after a day of riding.
anyways, here it is:
