i would never get a frame from brick lane bikes. a second hand frame for 350 is way too much money. you can get more decent stuff for way cheaper. honest. get that frame and decking it out with decent quality components you end up spending almost more than getting a brand new condor which comes with decent components. the only frame i would consider getting there is a stock dolan.
personally i think the pearson is ugly. the wheelbase looks too long, the bars look weird, the tektro levers don't look very good, and it's got cheapo RPM cranks which you can get from kiwi for 3 tenners. unless the frame is absolutely brilliant i'd say from the components it looks well overpriced. i would even choose a langster over it, at least it's got sugino cranks and the frame is tighter!
