Ishiwata also made decent tubing.

Unless you are really looking for a specific frame, and want to custom build it with components of your choice, or get a frame for free or near free and have everything else you need, you may just want to buy a complete bike. Hey, check the deals for new bikes online (Nashbar, Performance, Bikes Direct, JensonUSA, Bicycle Gorillas in Reno, etc.). Many run special discount promotions, and some offer free shipping (just pay the price shown for the bike). The price of the bike will probably be less than the sum of the parts. As far as C&V, Nashbar has been offering the 105-equipped Schwinn LeTour Legacy with Chro Mo frame for as little as $620 + about $40 S&H. That's a pretty sweet bike. There are many others (lower-end models, though) starting at around $240. An LBS may even have a deal on a left-over. Going out of town? An LBS may have a deal on a used bike.
