A month after the Shogun was finished the bike is fine and I'm thoroughly used to (and enjoying) it. So it hits Richmond Craigslist this afternoon.

While I'm not unhappy with the bike, I'm not thrilled with it either. Little things like a 58cm frame (I normally ride 56, and just barely clear the top tube), 27" clinchers (I really prefer 700c sewups), and the knowledge that I'd primarily put this one together to see if I'd like the concept at all. Answer to that question is a big .

What I want to build is something more modern, thought out, elegant, and less make-do/makeshift. Maybe actually using a real track frame, or at least some aluminum equivalent (in 38 years of cycling, I've only ever ridden steel), a real track crank, wheels that actually match, etc. To which, I'd like a bit of advice from the group:

What would you suggest from what's currently available on the market in a frame? I'd prefer to keep the cost down, so Colnago's, etc. are right out. Let's talk mass market, good quality, but something for somebody on a budget.

Appreciate the help.
