the geometry on this looks a bit screwed, but it's still a bit handsome...

Geometry looks fine its the glued steel lugs i would worry about :|

Aende TT frame

in london £165 lo pro brian rouke

Need more bends! They're not nearly ridiculous enough!!

Alf Web £140 BIN


I haven't heard of a single lo pro being returned. (edit- I had heard of some fork difficulties at the outset, as he had chosen the fork design to be a signature- however, now those forks have been improved extraordinarily, and look the business)
Prior to undertaking a full apprenticeship somewhere (Ive forgotten where)
he did supply mass produced frames to the dirt/ street/ park, for a while and could imagine those to be sub par, but thats why he started producing in house.

even if Boots has to fix the frames, so what, they're still being built with the utmost of care.

But that technically is wrong, and I happen to know that, I've been there, I've seen the workshop, the stations which each builder works at and each builder at work.

As far as I'm aware, his frames can take an absolute battering, look sweet and thats as much as I need to know. And trust me, he knows exactly what he's doing, right down to CNC machining some interesting new developments.

-agree to disagree.

Agreed. There is no sense arguing about it.
You love 'em, and I have no doubts about your ability to judge what you have ridden. If you love it go for it :).

From what I've heard from several people state-side that I trust I wouldn't want one, and definitely wouldn't pay to have one built. He sounds like a shady fella, and one I wouldn't trust and have been told explicitly not too.

daddy long legs!

but they do so big frames?
;)

Bill Boston is the KING of touring frames in America.

He's been at it for 30+ years.

If it's your size and can swing the price, go fot it.

You won't be disappointed.

My size and everything. I have a feeling this will go for a lot more than £155 though. I want it so badly!

I think you're right. Genuine Masi frames, and that looks like one, are highly sought after. This one is mint too.
