This might have been what my subconscious voice has been trying to tell me lately

It's hard for me to contribute to this thread on a price as my SOP is (more like was) to look hard and long for as nice a frame as I can find, then outfit it with parts I've collected over the years. I think the last complete bike I bought was the purple Davidson, but in the end I only used the frame/fork/headset while selling/giving away all the other parts. It was around $750. If that helps.
