Such a rad build. It's probably one of the few times that I'll say that an Aerospoke looks good on a build. lol. Great job.

beater =/= aerospoke hah really tho it looks sick, how do you like the frame? im getting one myself

The frame was surprisingly stiff and light. Also aerospoke (raw) is currently on sale for $199 and I had to swoop.

whaaat nvm then, thats a steal. don't care what people say about them I love how they look. also if you dont mind more questions, did you just buy the frame or the complete bike from citygrounds? my only bike was just stolen so I dont have the money to buy a bunch of new stuff and im wondering how the stock components are on it

I bought the crew frame, headset, seatpost, drops, and cnc stem. I stopped using the stem and bars and upgraded. The frame I came from was a 2013 aventon mataro so I only have positive things to say about the crew district. The only thing I noticed was that the dropouts weren't tightened in, but I gave the screws some attention and everything has been cherry ever since.

how you feel about this frame? stiff? responsive?

I came from an aventon mataro when building this one. I'd venture to say that it stacks up pretty well. For $150 you can't beat it man. And yes, it feels more stiff than my aventon.

Hey. I'd just wanna ask... I'm choosing a frame for myself. Aventon Mataro 49cm or Crew 49cm I'd really like your opinion. :) Help me out?

Yeah man. Unfortunately my aventon mataro started breaking down all over after a year of use. Seat clamp stopped working, cracked forks, lots of wear on the matte finish, and even a lean when I tried to ride with no hands. I can't say the crew won't do the same, but if I was going to buy another of one of them I would buy the crew. (The crew was also slightly lighter)

Hey thanks for replying man! :) can you maybe update the gallery and take a photo of its downtube? I want to see if it's just a full circle or like a tear drop shape tube... your opinion's really helping me alot. Planning to get one by June for my birthday! :)

I still have most of these parts that make up the bike but they aren't together. The dpwntube on the aventon is a tear drop and the crew has a perfect circle. I also want to add that the integrated seat clamp on the aventon gave me trouble through out its lifespan and actually broke eventually.
