| Reply i was just wondering if anyone has used that frame before. i just ordered it from danscomp. i been riding flatland on a hoffman resistance and its about time for me to settle down on flatland since im way better on it than on street. i got that frame cause that was what i can afford at the moment, do any of you guys have any idea if the frame is any good? i hope it is. its top tube is 19"5'...  | |

| Reply The top tube is 19", Dan's measured it wrong. The seeker is an excellent frame It has great attention to details and very good balance. I'd rather ride that than the hoffman. True, it is heavier that more current bikes but the balance is so good so you don't notice it as much. Enjoy it. There's no excuse for being a dickhead. | |

All I really want to say is we returned all of ours to Eastern. Patrick Schoolen http://www.flatlandfuel.com | |

| Reply We sold a lot of Seekers and they were great. The last batch was not though. The Green ones you see at some places at super low prices were junk. I would not let a customer buy them and we sent ours back. Easterns manufacturer used the wrong dimensions and specs to make these frames. The tubing and dropouts were too heavy, top tube too long and it used a 7/8" seatpost. This was not what Eastern ordered but by the time they got to the US from Taiwan they owned them. So they sold them cheap. I bought some (not knowing about the problems) but as soon as we saw then they were shipped back. I did not feel comfortable selling such a frame to my customers. So take that how you would like. Patrick Schoolen http://www.flatlandfuel.com | |

| Reply Thanks Pat! I bought one of the raw ones from you. Good thing Leif is riding for a company who cares about their flat program. (FBM) | |

| Reply try calling them. Or at worst you can send it back for a refund once you get it. You will lose the shipping cost but nothing else. Patrick Schoolen http://www.flatlandfuel.com | |
