I've got a fair idea of what brands and models to look at now. Miyata seems like an easy one to fine since they were all chromoly double/triple butted. Just having an issue finding a near 58-frame size in the right bike. Tons of awesome options for short people lol.

I just found a Vitus 979 on CL, priced a bit to high for me but I'm going to see if he'll deal on it. I'm 6' 170lbs so I dont think itll be too noodlish for me
