Lugged steel. $500 - $600 on my front step. Otherwise, it's just not worth the bother. Much more than this, and I'd pay the premium for a Mercian, Jackson, or a custom. In the event of a problem, I'd rather deal with a well established shop or individual rather than some frame factory in a TaiChung industrial park.



Rivendell Bleriot. It's untouchable. It's also $750 retail w headset installed, or maybe cheaper.

$750 gets you good quality tubes, niiiice lugs, hot paint, all manner of braze-ons. I'm sure the same builder could do a track frame for a lot cheaper, especially if it's 1 color, no decals.

It's brazed in Taiwan. Maybe if someone asks Rivendell real nice, they'll give you contact info.
