I was curious what eveyone's thoughts were on the SSR frame builds like the Redbaron bikes vs. the billetware frame builds?

I'm building a 70 for my next project, and am heavily leaning towards the SSR frame. I've heard nothing but good about the headtube angle.

Are the frames' head tube angles the same? which one is a lighter frame? which one is stronger?

Thanks for all the info.

I'd go with the SSR frame. Its cheaper. And I am pretty sure the headtube is fixed on the SSR. Theres more rake on the Billetware frame I am pretty sure.

I've ridden them all and I like the billetware the best. It’s really about riding style and preference kind of like choosing between Honda, Kawasaki ktm or Suzuki. I run a billetware right now and it works great with a vert shock big bike style Swingarm + it's made in the USA

i'd go with billetware over the ssr frame imo.
