... well the end of the top tube is slash cut, but hard to tell 100% from the top quality photo..

and it states a 12" frame... erm I think not.. more like a 16" imho..

I was under the impression that 7005 alloy is superior to 6061. So why all the fuss.

I understand the built in USA and handbuilt, but 6061 is a inferior weaker grade, surely?

Not a GT expert so forgive my ignorance

I'm sorry, I don't do impressions... my training is in psychiatry..

but 6061 is a inferior weaker grade, surely?

It isn't weaker, just different .. and don't call me Shirley..

was under the impression that 7005 alloy is superior to 6061.

I thought it was as simple as 6061 is available in the States, so the Yanks used that and 7005 was prevalent in Taiwan - so they used that!

So 7005 has a bit of a stigma because they are usually far east mass produced frames...

6061 is aluminum (without the "i")
7005 is aluminium (with the "i")

There you go, sorted.

I bought this, it was only a few miles away and it seemed rude not to I picked it up this evening and it seems in good condition on the whole and I don't think it was bad money. It should tidy up nicely
