Fetish Cycles

[uforgot]

I've been playing around with the idea of building up a ss mountain bike. When I look on ebay, these frames keep coming up. Anyone know anything about them? A search here on "Fetish Cycles" turned up nothing. Their website has the frames that turn up on ebay, regularly $699, now $99. Seems like a rather steep discount...

The prices listed on their website are completely made up BS prices to make you feel like you're getting an ubelieveable deal. They're inexpensive frames made in Tiawan that they slap their name on.

I know someone who purchased the Seduction frame and I don't think he's that happy with it. It ran smaller than advertised and the suspension doesn't really do much. I've read other reviews though of their Obsession frame and people have been satisfied with it. It's nothing amazing, but a decent inexpensive frame.

Would I recommend, probably not just because I think it's a bit shady listing crazy high MSRPs so people think they're getting a good deal. People have posted that it's a decent frame for the money though.

If you do a search on MTBR for fetish, you should get a few hits. Here are a few I found about the singlespeed:

They have a very active singlespeed forum, so it may be worth checking out!

I bought a fetish fixation 2007 frame off ebay for $150. It is a cheap frame, but I'm just looking to build a cheap singlespeed (though there is no such thing as building a bike cheaply.....but our cycling team is getting some pretty awesome pro deals this year so that helps). I intend to use my bike for fun and a little training, but I won't be racing on it. I think the fetish will be a nice bike for my purposes.
