Steamrollers are definitely nice, relaxed, strong, customizable frames. IROs are nice. Pake is really cheap. KHS Flite 100 is really cheap and probably better than the Pake.
thanks for the suggestions. i'm looking for a complete bike, not a frame. i don't want to build-a-bike, i would just like to find something cool that is ready to ride (i hope). since this will be just a fun/leisure bike for me, it does not need to be top of the line...but i don't want a cheapy either. so i figure something about $500 should get me something good. keep the great suggestions coming! thanx
