If you are looking for custom steel frame, look at Landshark.. They are in Oregon and I know John works with a variety of tubings depending on what you need.. Reynolds, True Temper and Columbus.. If you want something as little better priced and 1990's steel frame with Columbus SLX or TSX tubing will work great.. Columbus TSX is "superbutted" CrMo with continuous helical reinforcements.
