What do you choose a frame?
When buying a bike how do you choose the frame. Other than material(aluminum, carbont etc) what other factors do you look at?

size, material and quality. quality is very important to me. a frame from bikes direct wouldn't work for example

fit
stiffness
weight
pretty much in that order. for me ride quality/compliance is somewhat material dependent, and involves so many factors like wheels, saddles, tires/psi, bars, etc, its almost moot(not moots!!). i'm sure others will disagree.
