Independent Fabrication Steel Deluxe £260

[kingroon]

Chaps if you think this is a Stumpjumper you need to head back to RetroBike school.

Sale open to anyone who knows the difference between mass produced middle of the road frames and Sommerville's steel.

Note: Sommerville is a place is America, some guy called Chris had a company there, he sold it to another guy called Ben, some guys got pissed as Chris and started their own company to be bit more Independent. Chris ended up as a massage therapist or something. What's the Chances of that? The other guys started Fabricating some cool stuff though. They got the design spot on. They borrowed a few things from Chris. They sealed all the main tubes, they put in 1 1/4 inch seat tubes, head tube gussets and CNC'd dropouts. They even use size specific Reynolds tubing.

You got PM Dude..

At least that will have a seat tube drain hole...

True, but put it this way. I'd rather have a Shock A Billy, a Yo and a Buck sat in my house as opposed to a X1, an Elite and a P7.

Id sooner actually ride a crappy orange (without breaking it)than have a pile o'poncy shit "sat in my house"

In your nice warm house?

Precious, or essential?
