Joe,
Thanks for the heads up on the E-bay, but actually what happened is that my frame that I bought back in 93 was a titanium sold by Performance and it cracked on the chainstay and like everything they sell if you have the original receipt then it"s 100% under warranty. So I'm applying the 845$ against the Basso which leaves me coming up with around 150$ for the frame, not too bad for such a nice frameset.
