Hip Hop Skid Bikes / Hipster Sleds / HHSB

The INGRIA frame just looks lazy as fuck, paying that much for a frame you'd expect THE WELDER to at least take a file to the welds and clean them up...

Some of the welds look like he's thrown the weld at the joint from across the room. Really fucking poor work.

To give perspective, TP88 paid about the same for his Low// (pre-hipster-tax-inflation...) You couldn't even compare the 2 frames.

If I were EATSHIT, I'd demand a 75-80% refund, and either ride the frame as is, or strip it, inspect it and re-finish the welds either myself, or find a builder that works with alu... Get it re-powder coated and enjoy it.

What TM said. On top of the fact I got a really nice paint job, smooth welds and the new drops outs for free which they now charge a further hipster tax.

Tilky i'm not trying to give you a hard time. I just find it hard to legitimise that kind of money for that kind of poor quality.

I suppose in hindsight Tilky has pointed out further evidence of the welds prior to purchase so in some cases it's not like Ingra have falsely advertised?
