n00b question regarding quality frames
Hello all, my question refers to a common statement that I read in these forums all the time..."Buy the frame, not the components." How does someone just getting into it know how to spot a great frame from a decent frame to a crap frame? Does one just assume that generally $$$ = better? As a relatively new cyclist that is looking to get into road bikes soon (my current ride is a Trek 7500FX), what should I be looking for? What are some telltale signs that a frame is "good"?
