All kidding aside the market has changed so much in the past
20 years or so that its frightening.
I suspect that Thylacine is talking about folks like e-Richie, Don Ferris,
Sacha White, Dave Kirk etc. Artisan builders who pay attention to details.
Most production frames are built god knows where (taiwan? China? malaysia?)
exceptions are some Treks, and Cannondale (but they are NOT steel).
I find it surprizing that there are not more european, Aussie etc.
builders that are as well know as the seppo builders mentioned above.
not sure why that is either.
me, I'd like a malvern star (4 star) track frame. . .
