The fact that it's steel should have tipped me off, but I really had never paid very close attention to the other frame either.
Yeah, I was already contemplating the X frame, but was a little leary of the slack headtube and poor chainstay clearance issues people were reporting. This frame seems to get around both. I ended up talking myself out of it yesterday (or my girlfriend talked me out of it
), but I'll be keeping my eye out for the next 20% deal for sure.
