No frame with a delivery date in 2013 will be $3,000.
It may be $3,000 today.
If you take delivery in 2013, you will pay the 2013 price.

Take a two week vacation and build your own frame at UBI? For as much as you'd pay someone else to make you one, you could make your own...

I don't know if anybody has mentioned either, but Kavalinka, Erba or Jonny Cycles...
www.jonnycycles.com
if anyone can find the Kavalinka website, that'd be cool. I can't find it anymore.

If money WERE no object, not "was." When speaking in a wishful or hopeful sense, you use the subjunctive tense. It's the only use of the subjunctive tense in the English language.

I know some people get offended at grammar corrections, but it's a rare and welcome thing that I get to learn something new. Thanks.

Well, I've been on the Sachs list for 2 years now and should have my bike in 18-24 mos. I waffled for a year, then I was up in the Chester, CT area and stopped in and met Richard and talked with him. That sealed the deal for me, placed my order right there. Richard is by far the most sought after, imho, and hey, he's be doing lugged bikes for a long time and has been instrumental in keeping lugged bikes around. Needless to say, I can;t wait for my Richard, and I'll hang it up next to my Pegoretti Marcelo.

I'd go with Bill Stevenson in Olympia, WA. His fillet braze work is beautiful too, very hard to decide between lugged or fillet brazed but since money is no object, I'll take one of each!

My short list would be:
Davidson
Moyer
Spectrum
Della Santa
Mercian
A Sachs would be great but I would like to be able to ride the bike sometime in this decade.

Sweet frames... Reasonable backlog... And good even if cost is an issue, since he doesn't price gouge over having a widely recognized name.

How about Hollands frames from Maryland. He makes really nice Reynolds steel frames.
