I recently built up a black Wabi Lightning. It's a nice frame for the price. I built mine as a long distance single-speed/fixed gear. I love my Surly Steamroller, but when I put a rear brake and a freewheel on it, it sucked. The quick handling is great for dodging traffic in the city, but it's twitchy as hell at high speed. The Wabi on the other hand handles just like a normal road bike. It's also a lot lighter than the Steamroller. I would've liked it even better if it had a normal headset, but what the heck. Overall I am pretty happy with mine.
