retriever,

The one Independent Fab model i would possibly consider would be the model called Club Steel Racer, thats appears to be the closet model that would fit my ride style. I have read a few
fantastic reviews on this model. But right now, im leaning towards a visit to Bilenky Cycle Works in Philly. If a custom built steel frame is not financially possible with a Bilenky, that i will have to
step down a bit and look at the Gunnar Sport, IF Steel Club Racer, etc.
