K Jones was is a "rider" first...flatlander second, though everyone remembers him for flat.

Given that the frame has been at clearance price everywhere, forever, I'm not thinking it's been much of a "success". I bought one though. I just got one too! I love it...it's built to last. I think the price cuts are because it's not fashionable to ride a tank anymore. It does weigh a lot. I think it's perfect for me. I'm not afraid to jump it, wall-ride it, or grind it. If K Jones had most of his hand in it, I would think he would design a good all around frame. K Jones was a "rider" first...flatlander second, though everyone remembers him for flat. Also, Hoffman has been known to keep their prices down.

And I had some heavier parts and back brakes on my last bike, so this one doesn't feel heavy at all to me.
I tell you what, if odyssey is reading this.19.4" TT //// 13.5" CSMake this and I guarantee you at least 1 sale.I know its only 1, but if you double check what allot of the underbelly is looking for you may see that its times are changing again.Like odyssey designs, please try and take a step in a forward mannerism in terms of marketing direction.Rather than just following the mainstream of yesterday.

If they made that frame only a small handful of riders would buy it. They could release it as a second option, but having that be it is kind of ridiculous. The mainstream is the 18.8 top tube length that's been the standard since as long as I can remember. Not many people ride 19" or above.
