I just placed an order of a Spicer frameset. I've read several posts saying Gene and his wife are great people to do business with, but now I can confirm they are FANTASTIC.

I wanted a budget track frame in my size (50cm) with a chromed drilled threaded fork w/o eyelets. Of course this combination wasn't a default set up they had. (their default is same as Flite 100 / Kilo TT)

He swapped bundled fork with a chromed threaded track fork, and gave me a great price as well.

Gene responded all of my emails within a matter of hours, sometimes in 10 min.

I placed the order via online form this morning, and he responded (not automated) with confirmation of spec details BEFORE I finished my follow up email. And the frameset will be shipped out today. Dang!

I have no affiliation or anything with him, but I just had to tell this story here. Sure the frame is made in Taiwan, sure it's not a fancy lugged frame (he does offer lugged ones, too), but I felt really good dealing with him, and I'll bring my business to him anytime without a hesitation.
