That's why asking you, I don't have the energy anymore to track down a good frame. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

TT hit the nail on the head.
It took awhile for my shop to start dealing with Aventon because from what I saw of their initial run of frames when they first hit the market, I wasn't impressed. From what we've been seeing regularly on a first-hand basis and and as their component choices on the new completes clearly show, Aventon's quality has greatly improved over the past few years and my shop has a pretty strong relationship with them now. Aside from them being a big supporter of our local Velodrome and their team coach Sean Burke teaching classes there, they are cool to deal with, their product is good and they stand by it. Works for me.
