And, that frame is still raced at very high levels out there (the current W65+ 500 TT WR holder, Jan P., rode one in the record, and still rides it). However, I have just fallen in love (lust, similar) with the Bobby's Dixie Flyer. I see them often, there are a lot of them around Hellyer. Must. Resist. Right?
Nice frame, especially for the money. But I believe the geometry is substantially different from what you have now. If the Giant is a good fit for you, the DF may not be so it's worth investigating that aspect.
Also I think he's got pretty limited stock right now, new production run happening in the near future so you'd probably have to wait a bit anyway.
