Martin, how's your Contraband?

I really LOVE it! It's such a nice frame; the chainstays are damn short which makes it very flickable for street, but the bb which is a bit lower than on comparible frames makes it also very stable, so it also feels great while riding dirt and airing quarterpipes Smile Also I really like that you have 2 toptube length possibilities, since I'm pretty tall and 21.5" is too short for me (I run the 22"TT version)
Nice to hear good stuff about it. how do you find the weight? is it too heavy

I love the look of your Contraband hopefully my Cap will be just as nice

a capital will be awesommees. I do alot of manuals and like a high BB. frames on my wishlist are a Ghetto, Capital, or a USB molly. I cant really think of anything else as street dialled as those.
