So we just got the July catalog from J&B, and I was flipping through, and saw one of their house frames. You've probably all seen the road frames they have but now they have an urban frame called the Interrogator, I was reading the specs. The claimed weight is 5lbs. Its 4130 steel. 15.3" chainstays, 69 degree head angle. Anyone else seen it? Comments?

Yep,
A few of us were flipping through it Saturday. We actually ordered and recieved the Uno, the new steel singlespeed. I haven't built it yet, so I can't comment on construction quality and the like, but it looks to be preety cool.

You guys gonna order the urban frame at all, I was thinking it'd be nice to build up as a singlespeed with a rigid fork.

I'd like to order one for myself, as well.:biggrin: I think it'd be a cool little bike to have.
