Anyone out there riding one of there MTB frames? Seeing a $69 price on a welded Cro-Mo frame from the continental US makes me pause and consider one.

Please advise.

Is that the Rocky Mountain Route 66 frame or the Canadian welded unpainted frame?

I have no idea what that unpainted bike might be, it's not a Rocky or Devinci with that rear seat stay, not many other production bikes that are steel and welded in Canada.

It might be an Oryx as they were folded into the Rocky line in 2004, it might be a left over production line piece. Oryx did use that mono-stay rear end on some CrMo DJ bikes in 2003, those might have been from earlier products lines.

I bought the RM (http://www.nycbikes.com/item.php?item_id=407). $74 to my front door. Built as urban Frankenmuter. Sweet.

I was looking more at the unpainted version to paint in my own particular way. I don't think it's the Oryx as the NYC frame has vert. drops v. track ends. Could they have some local (to NY) welding them up fresh?

Regardless, if they are welded straight & true how could I go wrong?

There's likely more than $69 worth of CrMo in the frame, so as long as the size works... they don't really mention the size.
