$2,000 for a frame is out of my budget. The plan is not to spend more than $2,000 for a complete build. Maybe my expectations are off, but that is where I am at. Even $2,000 I'd have to think twice. That is more than any bike I have bought: Vaya, El Mariachi, and Spearfish.

However, like many people, once things get going it is hard to stay under budget. The Pass Hunter has a cool classic look. I am not a super bike guru like many of you. Not sure what all the different measurements mean, like trail, and what not. Go into a LBS and they are about aluminum race bikes for the most part, so hard to get good info.
