FBM - The Sword...

Is it? couldn't tell from the photo, thought it was those carbon/alu jobbie, whoop!

the headtube size is designed for fork with massive clearance, so it shouldn't be that small for you, like the BMW;

at least that what I think.

No its not, I've got a 59cm Sword and I'm running a carbon fork with tight clearances. (Still waiting for sword fork too). The sword fork
Thats just a tiny frame. Check the pic for fbm clearance -ripped from fbm site

anybody know tyre clearence on these?

Not massive. The rear stays are suited to no more than a 28c.

oh really? won't be going for an fbm then. Cheers.

its not designed as a trick frame really
more of a fixed gear street frame

pretty much, here's an example build as an everyday bike;

i think the vol 1 cutter, surly streamroller and fbm sword are my favourite modern steel frames that arent designed purely for track

No BMW Gangsta?

that's my all-time favourite steel frame (btw, I do agree with the rest of the frame as a favourite, especially the steamroller).

i do love the gangsta but i think i like the others more because they look traditional and are in my price range moreso the steamroller and cutter

if anyones still interested in the swords. We got 2 in stock at the shop i work in, in Molesey(surrey) with the fbm forks as well. Both in 56cm.
