Yeah I had you in mind when I said steel, there was a previous thread where we talked about the general subject. The Gust, no, I don't want cantilevered chainstays. But the black one, with discs, yeah, that looks good. What model is it (EDIT: I now see Storm), and is it easily available in mainland USA, and ballpark cost?

Here, sourcing all the parts individually can get expensive, but if same source for parts like you get, I'm totally capable of assembling a full bike.
