Looking to build a new pushy and have been researching some frames, haven't started on parts yet... here are some of my findings so far:
Eastern Ti-Grim Reaper
- Made in ??
- Full 6Al-4V Titanium
- Removable gyro tabs
- Intergrated Headset included
- Compact 6mm thick
- Spanish bottom bracket
- Internal Headtube
- Rearend 13.63
- Headtube angle: 74.5 degrees
- Seattube angle: 71 degrees

Note: Ive been reading some reviews on this frame. People are saying that Eastern don't recommend this frame for hard-core-huckers and heavy weights. Apariently its not the strongest frame, but I would keep my doubts about this for now - its still very new and I have seen some vids of pros tearing it to shreds with no probs. Sure it cost a lot, but its half the fuckin weight!! woot.
