well i have never even heard of this company before now, drop out system is interesting, seat tube looks a litle long for me but other then that is looks solid, you will definetly have a unique bike

they are not into developing there bikes the smoke has not changed from 2007 to 2008 at all.
and there was plenty of room for improvement.(the drop outs are huge and heavy and the tension system
can be very tight depending on the frame the nut might need a lot of force to move getting broken in the process)
unfortunately the company is too busy with other projects to really take the time to refine a good frame
or even update there homepage
the bike is OK but there are a lot better frames out there

then get something with verticle drop outs, makes running gears a lot easyier, if your looking for a jump style frame, look at the stp, the Chase, if you want chromoly look at block 8, or atomlab, and if you have lots of cash, look into like the le toy 5 or the astrix union, there are plent of frames out there just find one you like the look and geo of,

The Atom Lab is a great frame for the money,
I would also say the new free agent frame, ns bikes, black market, doberman, shamoon?,
the p2 or commencal absolute cro mo are good for main stream companies
I think steel is nice alloy bikes are light thugh
