Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

I saw the first bike this morning and I've been in love with the paintjob all day, seriously considering ordering one but with the grey replaced with a subtle pink. Does anyone have any experience with Factory 5 though? are the frames actually any good?

Friend of mine rides one daily. Took a while to order, but he's really happy with it. He said they were very well built, and that coming from someone who works with raw materials all day, I trust his judgment.
