Hi everyone I would love some help deciding on a frame.
this is what I'm having trouble deciding. There are two frame designs (that aren't chopper).One is upright, round, and and has a more narrow wheel base. The other is more low (in my opinion more aggressive), square, and has a more stretched wheel base. They both, depending on how you build them, can look amazing. However they both have their pros and cons, for instance:
The felt style bike has a more low, square look with what I presume is a smaller gas tank which has welds mid frame rather than swooping back to the seat like the other. It has a built in kick stand with no place to mount a prop-stand.
The SkyHawk frame has a more round upright feel to it. The whole thing is more forward, and the gas tank is swooped back all the way to the seat post. It does not have a built in kick stand and can use any third party kick stand for any bike.
(Don't be fooled here in this pic. The bike is leaned forward by the prop-stand.)
I need help deciding on which to get.
Also how hard is it to patch holes in the dummy gas tanks. They sell them but never describe where the holes are or how to patch them.
