It is a simple proposition. Real deal or not?

the "bottom bracket drip" scares me a little-

does that stain your floor-

it is an ode to Harleys of old?-

"Funk believes in oversize tubing in a big way. Funk uses Feather Tech OS tubing which is also manufactured in Colorado. The seat tube measures 1.375 inches, the top tube measures 1.50 inches, and the down tube measures a whopping 1.75 inches. As tubing diameter increases, resistance to deflection goes up by the power of 4, an exponential function."

Why would I want to know Seat Tube "Length"? "Angle" yes. I would wonder about ADD.

Keno beat me to the Seat Tube Length. Site was last updated in July, you think by now they would have corrected the error on the spec sheet.

Also, it peeves me when web designers use dark type on a black background. I do not wish to struggle to read their marketing text.

There's that "marketing" word again....

I be very wary of anything with a funk brand name/association. he built some mountain bike stuff in the late 80's / early 90's that was very fragile and did not support it at all. Cracked welds and crumpling in the HAZ were common on his forks and bikes.

But think about how many cow caps you can stuff in the top tube :rolleyes:

Nah, look past the size mahnnn. It's about the workmanship. That's worked Ti!!!! I would NOT want to pay his tool sharpening tab.
