I'm looking at getting a custom built Curtlo frame. Doug Curtiss out of Winthrop WA builds custom chromo frames for very reasonable prices. Actually, if his price list is still acurate, the prices on custom frames are similar to prices on most high end stock frames. Anyone have any experience with these frames? example : Curtlo 24 hour frame

I'm a big Marin fan. Either the Rocky Ridge or the Wildcat Trail are nice looking units. I understand your want to build up a frame; Marins generally come with exceptional frames for the money.

www.yeticycles.com and look at their FRO lineup.
Moderately priced, and Yeti has a great racing heritage even though the company has been bought and sold several times.
