How come you're abandoning the project? Looks like you're off to a good start.

Some things have changed, which means I have no money, and will be leaving the country again soon.

I never understood how mash is a team of graphical designers, photographers and whatnot yet they still manage to do the worst looking paint scheme of all times, I mean the mash histogram. If they just slammed a simple one color paint job on the frame and put cinelli decals on it with some mash decals on chainstays...

If you want a Histogram surely you want this one:

And definitely not this one!

I didn't see that you'd said "If they slammed" not "They slammed". But still I think the colourful one is the best one.

Is this a low//?

Is this a low//?

NO///

TM - does this Factory 5 contact take custom orders for frames at good prices by any chance?

yes.

I'm not sure on exact prices though.

Am interested, as think within the next 2-3 months I'll be wanting another frame, sooner if I don't drink so much.

Wow. Admittedly there is some shite on their fbook.

embarrassing.

fuck that, that pursuit with s80 is sick. maybe a -17 or bit more stem and I'd be all over it.

and shops do builds according to customers' wishes too, so they are not to blame here I think hope

beauty was for sale

As in somebody bought it?!

Ouch :-s

ok so lets have a brainstorm here, what could be changed to fix that "thing".
I say 24'' forks+wheel for a start.

It just needs to be built as intended, that's all.
