I'm down, as long as the frame prices aren't too high; how does one determine the price of a frame?

hmm....$340 + shipping for the frame i want...it's almost too good to pass up, but i just bought a new BMX frame, and still haven't gotten rid of my old one. and i'd have to get rid of yet another bike to make room/money, and there's really nothing wrong with any of my bikes at the moment...but the temptation is still there.

Do they have a shipping deal for three or more?
Some of those frames are awfully temping.
e-framebank is such a smorgasbord for us shorter folk.

What's up with eframebank? In the beginning weren't the frames really cheap, like $200 or something?
Now they cut off multiple shipping discounts, the larger/smaller sizes not being sold anymore, and shaft you on the somewhat sh!tty conversion rate.
I guess they finally realized that their frames were not going to budding track racers, but rather to_____ [fill in the blank].

Exactly. I was wondering how long before they cut off overseas orders totally. The fg craze would suck dry the availability of used frames for the intended recipients. :(
Time for them to break out the release forms where you promise to only use them on a velo. :)
