Chrome Molly, I'll call a couple of guys I know that have Andersons. I'll see if they'd be open to chatting. ...or better yet, call him. He's in St.Paul. He'll give you directions to the shop, so maybe you could stop by for a chat with him directly. He seems like a great guy. Here's a link to his pricing schedule. http://www.andersoncustombicycles.co...cs-Options.htm FWIW Dave's stainless frames and forks start at $3, 175. I have a soft sport for the fillet brazed frames, and getting one in modern steel is lustworthy IMO. This will be fun. |
Strap yourself in for the ride, it can be a while before you actually get that frame! It'll be fun and worth it, no doubt.

Glad you brought that up. I am curious as to how much does a custom in one of those sets cost? There was a debate in the paceline forums not too long ago and there was a consensus that the extra cost over a Ti frame is not worth the extra coin.
He makes excellent rando-style bikes and sport/road racing bikes. |

Finally got a chance to fully digest Dave Anderson's site. I am in love with the fillet brazed steel frame that is pictured. I emailed him and got a reply that he's out of town for a while. A metallic blue (with a touch of silver-grey mixed in) fillet brazed steel frame with a fully chromed fork. That's the one for me. I hope this works out.

I had a chance to really look at the frame and you know what, I want one as well. Anderson's work looks every bit as nice as my Kvales. Just a different flair than Kvale on the lug finishing, but special none the less. ....and just as nice overall as the Sachs cyclocross frameset I am having refinished. I think you are making a fantastic choice for the money. |
The MAX tubesets are available again, both Ceeway and Nova have them and Bringheli can get them...and now there are Taiwanese/chinese lugsets for them (good or bad?).
BTW...I have lusted after those Anderson stainless framesets since Grady posted a pic a couple years ago...gorgeous stuff!

I think I got the last one - but who knows what other goodies he has in there.
