i'm thinking about putting together a bike for a little fun over the summer. i've been riding bmx's all my life and want to try something new.

what do you guys think about this frame? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=370102445373

i only want something entry level and for the price it looks ok, but i've heard that wheel and sprocket (the seller) carries some pretty shit quality goods.

I'm about two hours away from this guy and I'm tempted to go down there myself to check it out. Seems like a pretty good deal.

honestly i don't really trust it. For $199 you can get a decal-less Kilo TT frame:

tried & true frame, and looks WAY nicer imho.

anybody have any ideas as to what fork I might put on a cinelli vigorelli frame to make it capable of a front brake? I was thinking to just get any lighter fork, then have it painted to resemble the existing fork, but maybe one of you has an idea of a front brake drilled fork that would look nice on the vigorelli

You can get this clamp-on brake which is made for forks that aren't drilled for brakes.

that wouldnt work on a vigorelli though as the forks are the wrong shhape the clamp ons only work on round forks.

damn... that would of worked perfect. Luckily I have a 1 1/8" fork on my current frame that I'm just going to swap over. carbon fiber around 35mm rake Felt fork off of a dispatch. I'll then just take off the vigorelli fork, take them both to a painter & have them replicate the cinelli on the felt. I guess that's my only option here
