I've certainly been sold... I know that there are other frame builders in that same price range that are probably making bikes that are just as nice, But since these guys are local, I think I'll give them my business.

I have pretty much decided on the Sportive frame, The Geometry of it is VERY similar to my old Litespeed, which I loved. It is close, in some ways, to the bike I'm riding now, which is a Motobecane Century (Come on now, be nice... It's NOT a bad ride, for the money!). Actually it seems to be right between the two.

I just have to decide if i'm better off with the M or the ML frame. The M has a slightly longer (.8cm) top tube than my litespeed did, but the head tube is considerably shorter. Other measurements, such as head & seat tube angles, are virtually identical. The ML has a longer top tube, very close to the Motobecane that I am riding now, so I would figure that it'll be a somewhat less relaxed position. Hopefully I'll be able to try them out!

If not, I'm leaning towards the M... I think if I have to be off a bit, I'd rather be a little smaller than a little larger...
