Hey All,
That is impressive. With no emphasis on weight I ordered a road bike
frameset from Soulcraft. With the supplied full carbon fork it weighs less
than the six pound mark. But with the also supplied Soulcraft unicrown road
fork it is over six pounds.

Hey All,
I owned a second gen Model P and also a Romulus. I found the Romulus to be
over tubed. There must also be some differences in the tubeset because the
Rom felt mushy when pushed hard compared to the Model P and other similar
steel road frames I have owned. The Model P was a kick in the p

What the others have said, plus.I have bought and sold a fair amount of

Maybe a best option is making it a five speed with some cheap bars and a
