Here’s a look at the new 2013 Broadcaster frame from Sunday. This frame is designed with the technical street rider in mind with a 75.5-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, a lower 11.5″ bottom bracket height and a short 13″ to 13.25″ chainstay length. The Broadcaster also features the Wave down tube, hollow drop outs and removable brake mounts.
You might have noticed we didn’t mention that this frame has 41-Thermal heat treating. That’s because this one does not have heat-treating and does not offer the lifetime warranty that the other 2013 frames from Sunday offer. However, this is what creates the low price tag. You can pick one of these frames up $299.99. Just a little heads up, most frames aren’t heat-treated or offer a lifetime warranty in the first place….
The Broadcaster frame will be available in 20.75″, 21″ and 21.25″ top tube lengths with Midnight blue for the color option and a weight of 5.25 lbs. coming early September.
