just to say ive got one of the steel archies and its a great ride. ive had it for around 9 months and it rides fantastically, and has taken a helluva beating . I use raked forks so never tried the archie ones but cant say enough good things about the frame.
one small issue is that i run a goldtech rear hub (700c wheels, not 26 speedway ones) and have to stretch the dropouts a little to get the wheel back in, that aside, its a brilliant little frame, cheap as anything and I would recommend to anyone
