Just two frames that I liked and I'm sure both roll fine once you get wheels on them. Any other suggestions? Budget somewhere between $900-$1300
I also looked at the Wabi classic, if I wanted to save money that is the route I'd go. Maybe it's the logical thing to do instead of spending money on a "dream" bike.
If I were to order the Mercian it would obviously be custom. I wouldn't go too tight on the geometry and id order it with water bottle bosses on both the downtube and seat tube. I ride road 15-30 miles and it can get hot in Georgia during the summer.
