I did think about that...but that's $400+ for the frame and fork...vs...well, $40.
Okay, maybe add $100 or something for powdercoating...to be honest, I don't know how much it'll be, but I'll find out. But I do get to chose a colour I like, which is good

Since most likely, if I bought a LHT frame now...I'd end up with like, Truckachino or whatever that rancid brown colour was (No offense to those who like it...).
On colour, I'm not really sold on yellow. Green of some variety is temping, although a nice deep red could be very, very nice.
I don't know about fades, but I could look into it.
