It's not so much that... but why lay out wads of cash for an off-the-shelf frame that only comes in 3 sizes when you can get exactly what you want *for less money*.

I'm riding on a 20-25 year old Ti frame with no decals... if it weren't for the crappy square taper BB I'd probably keep riding on it for the next 25 years too.
