Current Projects chat and miscellany

I'm assuming that was a reply to my reply, sorry to hear about your bike to.

Both are good, the Brother has more typical track geometry, steeper angles, higher bottom bracket and a shorter top tube which would give a more aggressive and nippy feel, but its a steel frame that fits 28c's so its still pretty practical (but depends on how define practical). Then the Surly has geometry more like a road bike, the bb is lower and the top tube is longer, so i guess it would be a more relaxed positions (but also depends how you set it up) also has clearance for huge tyres or mudguards using P-clips, probably more practical but maybe not as fun as the Brother.

You may also be interested in the On-one pompino? the frame is on sale for £100 at the moment, has a bit of a mtb vibe but without the hole sluggish feel.

hope that helped.

Thanks that's very helpful, I'll definitely have a look at the Pompino frame at that price. I don't have a lot of experience with different frame geometries so I probably won't know the difference, although I'm definitely liking the look of the Brother.

Thanks again for the advice mate.
