Opps, sorry if I violated some policy with that last post. I am as new to these forums as I am to single speed riding, and after I hit send I realized I was posting a commercial notice, or pointing people to one. Sorry--I am not selling the bike and have no relationship whatsoever to the person who is.

well less then $1000.

For new bikes $1000 is kind of a hole between the high quality mid range frames and the really nice ones.
Unless you have very specific geometry needs and would be served well with a low end custom that extra $3-400 isn't buying much.

Similarly, you can get a Fuji Track Pro frameset for $800. It's gotta be the most popular among the Cat 1 & 2 racers I see.



Plus, in a month or so, these things are going to be blown out for $500-$700 for complete bikes.

$800?? The whole bike is barely more than that.

I wonder how much of a difference that aero head-tube makes on the Blue. It reminds me of a goofy Litespeed I saw once.

$750 isn't bad though. And those are made in the US?

Good point, I never priced the whole bike, other than over the last two years when they've been blown out at year's-end on eBay for cheap.

But if I was gonna spend $1000 on a frame, I'd add $2-300 and pop for a Yamaguchi for sure.

5 pake frames for that price, one for every day of the week.

Yea, it's an aquired taste, but I'm bored as **** with kierin style frames and despite the wonkiness, the bike rides awesome. I would still be half and half, but it was cool to go by the "factory" in brooklyn and meet up with a bunch of bike fanatics that happen to be the same people welding up my next frame. Can't wait... (but I have to, b/c there is a week long wait for custom colors).
