ICAN Flyee Frameset
Blueberry:
an Orca/Flyee comparison photo, for everyone's viewing pleasure :)
you can play "spot the difference" !

I like neither.
I find both headtubes to be ugly, especially the flyee.
the flyee seat post is ugly
the forks are too skinny compared to the steerer / spcaers / cockpit area, especially the orca.
the seat stay - seat tube junction looks nicer on the orca, but it's much (MUCH) nicer on a trek emonda or a look.
The top tube look impossibly thin on both (and the seat stays too), which doesnt inspire confidence, nor does it look nice.
I also dont think the wheels are deep enough, but that's just me :)
The look of the head tube is a deal breaker for me.

Serge_K, I'm interested in what you think are the best looking framesets from China.
Serge_K:
Infinitely subjective, but i like these 2, for example. I think the Emonda is like the old cannondale supersix, there's a timelessness to it i really like.
And i think Factor makes pretty bikes, not just the paint jobs, but their shape is balanced.
i dont think the Aethos looks nice, and i think the SL6-7-8 looks very bland (i think the venge looked nicer). I think they lack character. Maybe people who ride Specialized lack character too? :p
