That's why the IF is up for sale. It's a piece of art but if it doesn't get used why keep it.

I'm sure though you will love your new bike. IF makes great frames that have a magic carpet type of ride quality.
+$5000

There is only one reason I would buy a custom frame - I have not found a stock frame built with a lugged Columbus XCr tube set yet.
