The Cyphr despite being weak as hell was probably my favorite frame to ride. It was light and fit me perfectly and I learned so much stuff on that frame
I had a cyphr for about a year. Ended up selling it to someone in either NJ or NY. The first gen cyphers were notorious for cracking at the bottom bracket junction. Once they added the gusset, the problem was mostly solved.
Great VDO as usual, it helps me understand Quamen different generations. I hope you could do some vdo about other brands from Mid School like Dragonfly / DNA, Ares, Otogoki, etc. Thank you.
Delta & Gamma were just 😍 EDIT!!! You didn't mention Quamens arguably very best, worst part! The Mobile Armz/Crankz still to this day one of the best ever looking Alloy Cranks & I'm STILL waiting for a company to remake them with a Splined Spindle, no cut outs & pinch bolts!
The worst frames I ever owned in my entire riding career were quamens. Just absolute garbage bikes with dumb pointless design decisions that made absolutely zero sense.
@@MidSchoolFool at one point I went from a bowls (the gen that REQUIRED you run their proprietary chain tensioners) to a sick child instrumental and that was probably one of my favorite frames ever. I've been riding a mankind code since 2012. I bought 3 spares thinking I'd break them. Replaced the first because it got rusty from my sweat. I still ride them now and still have have three spares because they just don't break. 3.9 lbs too. Cracked a 19" clad in 07 at the head tube. A G1/G2 at the chain stays. The bowls I replaced with the instrumental cracked at the head tube junction as well. They're really good looking frames and I've seen plenty of unridden pristine bikes that looked great in photos, but that's all they're good for imo.
Watching the vid "Trix are for kids", great mid school vid, Quamens and Graveyard Ti bars everywhere... those were the days

Was always in love with quamens
I loved the delta but needed to be longer such a small bike. Loved the gussets and tubing back than too.
Have a frame in the black stardust I was in love with on the delta 2 such a beast of a frame

I got otokogi, working on Dragonfly, and DNA and Ares are pending. Thanks for the call out!!!
@@MidSchoolFool Thank you
The second gamma just had an extra support welded on. Keep it from cracking.

I have cyphr frame gen 2 with braille headtube edition
Bowls v4. See the Reddit for the bowls v3
There is no proof Zenta died after he left the us .And you didn't talk about the cool frame.
I saw the cool but am primarily focused on flatland.

I liked the delta because it was unique but never felt like my riding progressed. @tj_perry what company did you prefer?
