I meant frame + fork.
Davidson is about $1499 for a frame only right now, his custom forks are $400-ish.
Davidson Ti frame starts at around $2200.
Rodriguez is around $1599 for a frame + fork
Curtlo, in Winthrop, Wa., is $970 from only, $1150 or so frame + fork, under $2500 for a complete build.
New builder in town, Boedie Cycles, is $1000 for a frame, $200 extra for custom fork.
Co-Motion is around $1600 to $1800, frame and fork.
Hampsten is $2200-ish, frame and fork (steel), goes up from there.
That's just the Pacific NW builders I follow...
