Also... #bikesinkitchens. Ha!

djkashuba - that is a spectacular build. Seriously. Functionally just what I’m looking for. Is that the current blue color for the Monster Cross?

mongol - I like a lot about All-City, especially the fact that they did such a nice piece on the shop in Taiwan building their frames. Your praise has put the Gorilla Monsoon back on my list of frames. It’s an outlier since it’s pretty different from the rest, but it is certainly back in the running. Absolute top of budget for a frame though.

I’m impressed with the feedback y’all have given Mike and Black Mountain Cycles. One of those frames is a front runner. But I still want to see what I can find out about a few other possibilities. Specifically the VO Polyvalent and Surly Pack Rat.

This all might be a delaying tactic to see if a used NFE frame pops up... heh.

Yay, bikes!
