I know it always cost more but I want to piece together my own Hybrid. I have basically everything but a frame/fork. Does anyone sell Hybrid style frames? Could you use a 29er frame with a rigid or CF fork? Any and all opinions are appreciated.

I'd be going with the 29er frame. My hybrid is pretty close to a 29 frame. ie. MTB frame with 700c disc wheels.
No worries.

Yep I would recommend starting with a MTB frame also, the range and options are unlimited.

Very nice, just what I was looking for. I like that flat black Bad Boy/Raleigh Misceo look. What kind of frame did you use?

It`s a 2007 USA frame but unfortunately it`s not available now. My guess any 29er would be fine.

Custom frameset by a small hand-making builder can be anything you wish.

Ohio Based Hub-Bub Cycles is a shop that helps people pick thru their needs
and gets a custom builder's frame made, then outfitted for people
used to going to pro bike shops ,
but not really dialed in to the last MM and degree angle of the specifications
to talk with custom bike makers directly.

But I suspect you are looking to outfit a mass produced frame with different components.

I remember Diane when she was City Bike in Cleveland. Now she moved out east. It's more of a Yoga Studio these days than full fledged bike shop. Still, they have a great reputation and she's tight with Richard Schwinn.
