Haha! You may be right- I think I`d probably save money by getting rid of my bikes and reinstating my old pickup as my sole mode of transportaion! Of course, it doesn`t HAVE to be expensve, I just like to dink around a lot.

B Mole, I don`t build frames either, so I`m not by any means an expert, but I think that other guy is exagerating about how high the prices of materials. Search up Henry James, Ceeway, Nova, Online Metals and Aircraft Spruce for suplies. You can get straight wall cromo tubing or even whole tubesets to build a bike for less than the price of a good set of wheels to go under your new frame. H.James has a lot of info on his site, along with suplies and the famous "Paternek Manual for Framebuilding". In fact, the internet is loaded with info on framebuilding and frame suplies. Google around and see what you run into. Good luck with your project- if you realy have the gumption, I have no doubt you can find a way to do it.
