Hope builds a Frame

[Scott Gordo]

Not my cup of tea (get it? They're Brits), but not uninteresting.

Carbon tubes, 1 peice CNC'd headtube and lugs and 1 pc CNC'd rear
triangle. Anyone else having Kooka flashbacks?

Not really, no.

I was about to write that as long as they keep it to XXS sizes, maybe
it won't be a problem. After all, how much abuse could people that
size and weight generate? Then I thought back about ye olde BMX
days....

That rear dropout/brake insert sure is slick, though. But the fact
that they don't even mention it on their own site indicates to me that
this is strictly another Pong bike.
