Yes, Quamen. The frame that cracked in THREE PLACES in THREE MONTHS. The same frame company that told me they knew about the defect in the frame model I was riding yet still didn't tell anyone about it.
(queue tranquilized to tell me how I did it to myself yet my Sinus is in perfect working order after riding it harder than I did my quamen for almost double the amount of time)
Right.
London is DEFINITELY quality stuff. Their pegs were incredible. They held up longer than any peg EVER and the only reason I'm not running them is my old crackhead roommate threw them out one day after getting pissed at me when I told him to pay the damn bills. My london sprocket is on point and super nice too. It's a shame Tex is so clandestine that you can barely get anything he makes any more.
I think We The People makes some of the most high quality frames around despite being made in taiwan. The tricks i'm doing would be easier on a frame with a shallow headtube angle, more so than the sinus I'm riding, but I think the sinus is a great frame regardless of the one fault I give it based on person preference. Great build quality, great design and look. Same with the DIV. They were the first company to put out a straight tubed flatland frame in the last 5-10 years as far as I know so without them we might not have seen a class X or sick child instrumental.
Sickchilds are also just really nice solid bikes. I don't particularly like the way the downtube looks, but I think Ed does an amazing job with quality control. I've never heard of one breaking in all the years that he's been making them. Sickchild is definitely up there.
Oddysey makes the best parts out there hands down. They are going to put out a few new products that will destroy KHEs "super light" products in the next few months if everything goes as well as I think it will. Hell, almost every rider I know has at least one oddysey part on their bike, street rider or flatlander. That alone speaks volumes of the company's level of quality and reputation.
But again, Quamen? Don't make me laugh.
edit: I'd also like to add that I think Ares has made huge leaps in quality control. I think they make some really nice bikes, even if they are too small for me to ride
