yes?

no.
let down by the graphics.

Nice - Szymon runs the workshop at SBR in Fulham, and is one of the dudes behind the brand - some of the tightest craftmanship you'll see on a bike frame.

no.

Meh! Looks nice enough. +1 on the graphics though. Especially the web address. A frame is not advertising space.

it's the chainstay '.com' graphics that are awful. the rest, i could live with.

i don't want a URL on my bike.

agree, but that seatpost/tube set-up thingy looks mighty fine

is that a negative shim?!

This is DEMO BIKE !!! not for SALE !!!

Not the tightest craftsmenship that I've ever seen. Ti welds come neater than that. Still looks nice though, apart from those god awful graphics.

Just having the brand name on the top tube is an advert, isn't it?

rep added.

isn't this the brand that will not tell us who the pole who builds his ugly bike is?

no, it's a brand.

"A frame is not advertising space."

Yes it is. Just like the Nike swoosh on your shoes or the logo on your shirt or the signs on the Tube or the billboards.. EVERYTHING is advertising space.

id like mine with an arrospoek.

i don't want a URL on my bike.

i thought your current bike had www.midget-tossing.com on the chainstay?

I won't give it another thought unless there are eyelets for 'guards... don't care much for the graphics/advertising either. Mind you I would consider putting up with one for £500<.

The displayed frame is just an example of Katana designs. The quality behind the frames is what is important. A person wanting this quality frame can have it in any design or colour they choose. The graphic on this bike is not the most important thing, please refrain from comments on the graphics if you don't know about the quality of the frame.

I agree the graphic isn't the most important thing on the frame. but if i was about to splash a fair amount of cash on a ti frame i would want nice graphics on it (or none at all)

your frame looks well made, do not tell me to refrain from making comments on your choice of graphics. if you post on a public forum be prepared for critisism.
i think they look like fake japanese/keirin branding and actually cheapen your product.

How much? Cost comes into judging quality.

What Nimhbus said. It's a brand. If you spend silly money on a branded item then you'd expect (in most cases) for that brand to be visible. I'm not posenger but I think that's generally how it works. I just think it's unnecessary putting a URL on the frame as well. If someone likes the frame and sees the logo, chances are they'll Google it. Anyway, I dig that you want the forum's opinion on the frame. Maybe take on some of that advice and sort out the logo? Plenty of peeps have voiced their opinions/given advice in your previous sales-related threads about it. At the end of the day the frames look nice...but who's gonna fork out a grand on something they're not totally happy with? +1 to MrSmith's description.

I know jack about frame building so I can only comment on the graphics. Sorry facet/fella! It is a nice frame though. :)

They custom build their frames to your specs - but also do them OTP available in Cavendish and SBR in fulham.

Image is everything - if these had Bianchi, De Rosa etc on them most people would be dribling over them, and they would probably go for £1000's

I like these guys, the frames are top notch, they know their shit (Szymon is a multiple Polish track champion) and you can sit down and talk to them in London and get anything made up. I find it a bit depressing that the fact they are Polish has anything to do with it - i am sure if i said that Bob Jacksons are built by inbred yorkshiremen using old machinery i would be flamed down.

Fact is these are top notch frames being built by a small company dedicated to fixed gear riding, built and designed to take the abuse that skiding and other techniques that fixed riding on the road puts on a frame - who else do you know that builds a frame for fixed gear freestyling that is designed so you can barspin, and toughend up where it counts so you can trash it?
