Looking for a frameset
Hi, I知 looking to get a frameset or complete bike whose frame has a triple triangle, curved seat tube, a top tube that passes the seat tube like on some GT frames, and bottle cage bosses. I listed these features in order of importance, I知 looking to build it as a single speed bike with dual pivot brakes and a variable radius dropbar. Thanks for any suggestions :^)

So you are looking for a GT copy, sort of? Maybe see if anyone is selling an old GT? I know I have seen a fixed gear they did a while back, I doubt they still make it but you could check their website.
If not that you probably as TMonk (who is not actually TMonk but is still a cool cat) mentioned you might go custom. It is an expensive proposition but worth it to get what you want. However if custom is not in the budget and trying to track down old GTs isn't either you might consider why you want those features and what those features bring to the ride quality or ability of that bike and maybe consider a different option.

How can framesets be ordered from them? I went to the website and there doesn’t seem to be a way to buy from them, their Apollo frame is really nice.

Your cog is slipping.
Crazy idea: click the 'contact' link.

Didn稚 you give up on them, because you had so much trouble getting them to actually ship them ?

Jan Kole can be pretty difficult to deal with and communication isn't always the best, but Colossi does turn out really good product if you can overcome those obstructions.

Also try Spicer in Indiana. I have one of their triple diamond frames and it's the bee's knees.
