This is my first post on Tarck bike even though I’ve been reading it for a while. That isn’t the point though, I was wondering what you all though about the actual frame of the Volume Cutter. Volume makes some legit BMX frames, but even if they can build a frame I just don’t know if the geometry would be any good coming from them. I was specifically hoping someone may own one.
And just to clarify, I’m looking at the frame only, not the half ass build that Volume did.
Other frame suggestions around the same price would be dope too.
I have a road bike conversion right now, and have been having a lot of fun on it, just wanted to switch up the frame to something with steeper and more aggressive geometry. Sorry if I came off as someone that just got into biking, I’ve been riding various kinds of bikes, BMX, mountain, and road since I was in 6th grade.
I don’t know if you ment to be a dick or not, capitals are pretty broad, try using more words instead of bigger letters.
Because I’ve ridden a few friends fixed gears with track geometry and they carve so much better, more fun, I didn’t try any tricks but from what they tell me. and what i generally hear, they are easier on fixies. Which would make sense, because that rule applied to BMX and Mountain Biking as well, “don’t want to by a long travel fork because you’ll loose the control of the you need for tricks.” also just simple logic, closer the wheels are together, the less time it takes to get the turn from the front of the bike.
I understand if you’re giving me shit too man. So many people are getting into fixed gears that don’t know anything about bikes.

can you buy just a frame of the kilo tt? I guess i wasn’t clear, I have a built up bike already, I want to buy a new frame though as my current one is dented, and has some gnarly rust near a couple welds. I also think that track frames are more fun. I’m leaning more towards and IRO.
Since you haven’t been riding fixed for too long, you don’t really know what you want yet. Anything you get will bet better than what you have (provided its the right size). And there’s a 90% chance that you’ll want something new (for illegitimate or legitimate reasons) before next summer. So don’t fret, just get what looks good to you.
Honestly, frames are frames. Tubing doesn’t really make that big of a difference until you’ve ridden enough bikes to learn the difference. Geometry does make a difference, but unless you get a professional to fit you to your bike, it’ll take a while before you figure out what works for you (mostly by finding out what doesn’t work).
