If I were going to buy a new frame that looked vintagey it would be the Soma Stanyan. $670 and comes with a fork

While I like the Stanyan, if I didn't get the VO Rando, I'd probably end up with the Surly Pacer. Then again, if I won the lottery, I'd just bite the bullet and get an A. Homer Hilsen with all the goodie bits...
