I'm not asking what to get. I'm a big boy and can make the decision all by myself. I'm asking for any personalor first hand experience with any of the following frames since I can't seem to narrow it down and half the reviews I find are from people who say "it looks sick" or "I want it."

Federal Bruno
Federal Lacey
Cult Butter
Cuit OS v3
Kink Solace
United Mothership v2
Fly Urbano
Fly Isla
Cult Deathrow v2
Cult Bad Boy v2

Those are all the frames that fit what I'm looking forsoI'm asking for personal reviews/experience with any of them to help me narrow down my decision. Thanks guys!

I've heard that Fly frames are pretty prone to snapping/cracking
The Cult OS has held up pretty well for two of my friends who've had them for a while.

Thanks for the OS input. I had a friend snap his tierra on the seattube/toptube junction but he snaps every frame he rides there so it wasn't accurate to go on

My bro killed it on a Mothership until he quit. It was the one part on his bike he never had problems with. I could see if he'll sell it to you. It's a 21"tt

Haha, ALL the reviews on Vital are made by the idiots that won't even make a "what grips should I get" thread. Little kids making fun of parts they may actually like (and will NEVER actually break) because they are all up late at a sleepover, haha.

Haha, I didn't like those type of frames in the 80's, and I'm not impressed with them now. To each their own though.

I dislike supporting cult but their frames are solid. They are all literally the same basically. My dude has had the first os since it came out. I'm already in my third frame while he is still on his first.

Id probably avoid that frame i know someone who snapped their first one in just over a year and now the one he got on warranty is cracked and its only about 8 months old.

I rode a Deathrow V1.5 The only difference to the V2 Geo wise is a lower stand over height. I rode it hard for 2, 2.1/2 Years SOLID Frame (LoL Solid, haha made by Solid) I have heard the new Cults aren't made by Solid & FBM anymore & the quality has slipped. HOWEVER.... Take a look at the new Solid Cutlass Frame. FUUUUUCK does it ever look good, Really nice Geometry, Brakeless option, super nice Trans Brown colour too. check out their webstore they have them up all ready!

I was browsing around last night seeing if I missed any and the United Beacon is in my price range as well and fits the geo I want. The cutlass is pretty nice. I didn't know solid's wer only 300. That fits the budget I wanted.
