Ugh, I don't know if aluminum is the way to go. The 09 Fuji Track Comp looks beautiful but I'm wondering if its completely impractical on the streets.

Checking out Sanner Cycles too for a midrange custom starting at 500 for the frameset. Bob Jackson cycles also looks like a possibility but I don't like the 1" threadless... prefer 1 1/8" just because its more standard.
