The Soma Speedster is very nice, but I'm looking for something that is ss/fg. Their Delancey is nice looking for only their chrome lugs, but size 52 is welded at the seat-stays/seat-tube/top-tube junction.
If I were to buy a frame for a geared bike, I'd definitely consider the Speedster! I'll wait until my legs get too old and fragile, though.
