Where to buy Pake frame?
 
Hi,

I'm looking into upgrading from my conversion and I'm really liking the Pake Rum Runner frame. I'm looking to buy online and so far I've found the frame at Retrogression and IMINUSD. I'm located in Canada (Montreal) and though the frame is cheaper at Retrogression the shipping costs put it over what it would cost me from IMIN shipped.
So, are there any other deals who carry the frame that I should consider?

Thanks

Do you have a local bike shop that might order it for you, if you are fixated on that frame?

My LBS has a 57cm (slightly too big for me as I stand 5'11) for something absurd like 300 CAD

I was under the assumption that the Pake had near-identical geometry to the Soma Rush only using inferior, heavier tubing but at a lower price. The reason I'm favoring the Pake at this point was the geometry, I don't mind the extra 1/2 pound or whatever due to inferior tubing.

There's a 57 on eBay for like 200 right now.

Don't know about shipping to Canada though.

They obviously have an account with either Somafab or a distributor that sells Pake frames. Have them order a 55cm for you.

Right, but I was looking to get it for cheaper than the steeper $300 price tag listed at my LBS

Negotiate? I'm sure they can do better than $300.

Does that LBS include the fork as well? If so the price is about right (a little high).

You answered your own question. Order online. If you know anyone just over the border get it shipped to the US and pick it up.

Move to the US.
