What's included in the sale? Just the frame? $275 means you're only netting about $250, assuming you have packing materials and you opt for the cheapest possible shipping method.

yeah I have the box and most of the packing materials, may need to get some extra bubble wrap. cheapest shipping looks around $20 (it's only going to OK)
everything from the headset, minus the starnut, is included.

Dear Scrod,
I have a Pake frameset i got recently from craigslist. I wanted to get a new fork for it, the website says the steer tube it 1 1/8" but the fork and headset installed on this frame is 1", and it seems to be working fine. I havent measured the Steer tube yet though. I am also pretty sure that the fork is the stock unicrown fork that comes with the black frames. I asked you cuz you have some Pake frames in your store. Do you know if old Pake frames have 1" steer tubes? or should i just get a new headset when i get a new fork?

hamfoh - if you have all the packing materials and box, $275 shipped isn't a bad deal. Pack it well (maybe try to scrounge up some extra bubble wrap or whatever) and send it USPS Parcel Post, which will cost you around 25 bucks.
jp - older Pake frames were all 1". If that's what you've got, you'll need a fork with a 1" steerer.
homebrew - I've never heard of it.

Yeah, they have an almost suede feel to them but after riding for a while, it turns smooth. The padding is also a little more comfortable than the vinyl version they made a couple of years ago.

I think it has most to do with the new Madisons not being as nice as previous years' models.
Example:
2007
2008
2011

Scrod,
I can't seem to find any 110mm bcd chainrings around the size I want which is 46t or a bit smaller. Currently running a 50/18 on SRAM Rival 170mm road cranks.
Should I bother hunting for one or buy a 165mm 130 bcd crankset? Cause I know 110bcd is pretty much all for the 50/34 double compact road cranks and thats all that i've found online.
Edit: Just found that Surly makes a large assortment of that ****
