Quamen Flatland Fuel


The Fifth JPS 2
Specs for this frame are posted to Flatlandfuel. If you visit please click through from bikeflat.com so they are credited w/the click-through.. MOVING ON. This frame rocks, I would give it a 5/5 except the bottom bracket could have been integrated better. It seems to me to have been added as an afterthought. It is NOT a standard Euro BB. I am of the opinion that a nice ISIS based drivetrain would be better than stock black widows, profiles, or whatever pushed through the provided cartridge bearings of rather dubious quality. The frame is very responsive, I am coming out of a 12 year retirement from flatland, my last bike was a 1989 dyno pro compe team model, so my basis of comparison is a little outmoded. All in all I can't recommend this enough, of course with offerings like the KGB frame, new models from ares, and so on, it looks like this frame might not be the best... But for snubbing people that hate France, there's no better. See Image below: (I am posting w/html tags please ignore them if the website does not parse them correctly.
