What are your thoughts on the brass knuckle frame as a first bike

teamrod while i am getting so many replys-whats the deal with a straight fork,curved fork,carbon,alu. i take its to do witha number of factors ,response,road transfer. any advice? thanks

straight fork vs fork with rake depends a lot on head tube angle, size of the tires, what you're using the bike for, worrying about toe overlap, how it handles, etc.

carbon on the streets...people have done it but i don't think its the best idea. alu and steel are just fine for streets. a lot has to do with stiffness, and unless you're a really big guy or racing on the bike, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
