Steel Frames

Anyone heard of Factory Five?

F5Pista – Factory Five

Any other similar options?

Nope, never heard of them.

Go for a Colossi through Gear. Will be less hassle and you’ll have local support for warranty etc.

Yes, but listen to avymetal.

Colossi is terrible.

explain

I built a Colossi Cheeko for my gf. Would buy another in a heartbeat. Welds are a bit agricultural but the price is right.

yeah reckon there might be a few ppl on here that are gonna want to know your reasons for that statement kitstopher

I had a colossi - loved it.

Whats your budget for a frame? Location? Size? Should be able to give you quite a few options.

I built up a Colossi road frame for my bro-in-law, from the zona tubing mentioned in that other blurb. I’d say the welds are pretty good, not Firefly good, but better than agricultural. I’d ride one.

Contact Gypsy, he helped out immensely with all the options etc for the Rambler.

$500. located in perth. 52-53. i’d like a raw steel finish.

Complete or frame&fork? Good luck getting anything quality if complete. Maybe try second hand.

Trust me, it’s called ‘rust’.

Bigger one on ebay ATM comes with a nice omnium crankset for 600
