thank you

What's the difference between those and Pinschers?

geo, dropouts and braces i think somone correct me if im wrong

I'm not sure if the geo is a lot different(if any) but i do know that theres a sh!t load of welding detail that goes on that frame, and the chain stays/seatstays are a lot different

someone with a dob could tell you a lot more then me tho

Geo is the same on all models other then the Pinscher having slightly shorter chainstays. Dropouts are horizontal on the pinscher but sliding verticals on the two higher end frames. The tubing used for the bikes gets better for each bike.

Ya the geo is pretty much identical on all the Dobermann frames, but the tubing changes dramatically in strength between each model. Also the welding and gusset work increases on each higher model frame.

To the original poster, how are you liking it? The build is pretty good all around. I give it a 9/10 only because of the wheelset.

i meant that it is not looking so good as $1000.
i think any 2*$500 frames will be better choice.
too expencive for untitanium frame.

new seat and tires and it would be awesome, the MBF is also lighter, and you can get custom Geo on it.

The pinschers actually the lightest, 5.5lbs vs the mbf at 6. And I don't think you can get custom geo, although you can get frames with custom geo from them.

At least one person knows what they are talking about.

The MBF is a 1000 dollar bike due to:
-Hand wrapped, custom gussets(takes hours and hours)
-Some of the best steel, aka strongest around
-Many CNC'd tubes(Headtube, seattube etc.)
-Lighter then the Molosse

So there you have it. The Molosse and the MBF have the same geometry, the Pinscher has shorter stays and I beleive that is it.

your paying 1000$ for a real nice frame that not only is SUPER strong but also took twice the time to build. Your not just paying for the material, but for the workers wage also.

I believe they are machined on the lathes.
