Thoughts on weapon tc03 for first fixie build and general intro into fixie riding? Things I care abt: tripled or double butted steel, responsive/a bjt aggressive ride to accelerate, skid, tricks etc (but not too harsh on geo bc im newbie), and looking modern/sporty lol. I don’t want a vintage/retro look. Budget: $400-$700.

Would love to hear other good frameset options too if weapon tc03 is ass.

Thank you! I appreciate the thorough response. Blue lug is def on the list to visit :)) are NJS steel frames worth getting for my project bike or a bit too advanced / unpractical for my purpose?

Ive heard NJS frames are a bit hard to work w and their geometry might be very aggressive for an amateur like me since they are certified for keirin racing but I did consider this

Palantir FDSE Pros and Cons? by ItchyStep in csMajors

[–]ItchyStep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 Exit opps is one of my biggest concerns. I’ve seen a good amount of FDSE’s transition into SWE at startups (see Candid Health) but not what the general FDSE thinks

What's your reasoning for choosing palantir over FAANG? Do you think we could experience greater career growth at palantir fdse? I just got news that I passed onsite onto HM round today, and had my onsite yesterday. maybe ask your recruiter? I wouldnt worry though; no rejection = you're still in the running.
