Hey, Todd, why not get yourself away from that chilly Chicago weather and d o a little framebuilder shopping at the same time?

And NO, I'm not joking -- if you're serious about laying out the money and want to be sure you're getting the right frame for you, invest in a plane ticket, an overnight stay and a one-day pass. Talk to the guys AND gals, find out lead times, look at end product, sheesh. Heck, looking back at Harvey's answer, most of the builders he's named are going to be there -- you'll have a chance to consider all of Harvey's questions with physical evidence before your eyes. How else are you going to be this certain about making the right choice for you?
And NO, Don Walker hasn't paid me a promotional consideration!
