It appears that Karpiel is teasing a return to building frames.

It looks strikingly like a Pole imo.

A) it's a one off
B) it was ridden without being heat treated
C) it is being discussed in the "this is what's wrong..." thread where it belongs.

Apparently, the brand will be making a return to making frames by 2020, but that might just be pipeline stuff.
Wait what? Still?he was just talking shit about ridemonkey on facebook the other day
seriously. i find it hysterical that the dude is still clearly very upset over some mean things people said about him on the internet almost 10 years ago.
ftfy
What was his screwup did he not send frames and scam people or go Tony Ellsworth on Warranty? Because i remember his bad rep was pretty earned so him throwing a hissy fit is a bit ironic.
Thanks, that was an awesome read while I’m waiting at the terminal in Phoenix.
I like this review-

Took my frame into these guys for some specialty welding. I needed some stainless welded onto my aluminum frame to fix an issue I had been having for quite some time. They did an awesome job. They took the time to prep it right and the welds were both perfect. They really know what they are doing. If you are having any issue with your bike frame, need some custom work done or just want anything you can dream up created...these are the guys I would highly recommend.
I hate it when I have the issue of not having enough stainless on my aluminum bikes......

Shady, lying bastards? I joined this forum because I thought all of you were scholars and gentlemen.
How is Nemesis still a "business" after 10+ years of negative reviews and drama?
He makes fixies. So his target market is even dumber and more impressionable than mountainbikers.
I thought the fixxie trend was long dead, but I can see it still being cool in Excremento.
He would need a disclaimer though: If you put down a deposit now, by the time you get your bike all the gravel roads around you may be paved by then.
People just need to be more patient, I ordered a frame from a local frame builder and it took close to six years to get it. When it arrived I chopped it up with a grinder, sent a photo to the guy that made it and threw it in the bin, hahaha!
I got a custom frame from Marino last year and that went well, the frame is no thing of beauty but it works.

Yeah I did, I sent a picture......
Yeah it's no good Taiwanese frame in terms of alignment but it is a pretty fun bike, the closest frame to what I wanted was a BTR but they run a short back end and I don't like them, too hard to keep the feet on the pedals.
I shot an email about a dual suspension frame and I am thinking of going a 650b frame with 100mm travel and a 65deg HA. I only really ride XC these days but hate the steep angles and stupid standards on most burly short travel bikes.
