Ah, OK, sorry. Umm... with absolutely no knowledge of what the wheels, brakes, and other parts would cost me, my guess would be between $200-$300 as a reasonable frame cost. Less would be expecting too cheap on my part, and more might go over budget for the finished build, as I can't get parts nearly as cheap as you, at least I think. I haven't bought anything off Ali yet.
Dahon may get a clue and sell in the USA, their Archer 20(?) with normal disc spacing and hydraulic brakes, and the frame is aluminum but has extraordinary looking welds that don't look like TIG. But I'm not holding my breath on Dahon's marketing intelligence.
