I may race the SS this next year, so the lighter the frame the better. My current frame (as well as the Kona) is about 4.5 lbs. Here are a few other requirements:

-Disc brake only frame
-Either horizontal dropouts, or vertical dropouts with and eccentric b/b.
-Steel or Ti frame

Any thoughts? Comments?

ThanX!
