Balfa MinuteMan

FRAME OVERVIEW

MinuteMan is meant to be general "play bike" use. Has a reputation of an excellent freeride bike. It's also a very refined steel racer. Perhaps not as overbuilt as some options, but it's more conventional geometry and lighter weight make this more versatile then most of the other "play bike" frames on the market.

MinuteMan has Tig welded 4130 Cr-Mo tubing, headtube transfer gussets, tubular seatstay brace, 5/8" by 1 1/4" (16 x 32 mm) box section rear stays, welded unbraced yoke design for increased mud clearance. Notched drive side chainstay for increased drivetrain clearance, preserving the chain line.
