My head hurtz.
Here's the dizzle: As I log more and more commute miles, I'm finding that there are certain limitations on my 'cross bike. The components are perfectly fine, but the frame is a bit small for me. I'm riding an XL Scott CX Team (60cm). Well...I'm 6'7" so while it was a good beginner, learn-the-ways type of bike, I need (read: want) something a bit more suited to my hammering, lanky ass style.
I'm a big fan of Ti frames because of the rigidity (I clock in at about 265) and steel is real (I rode an old skool steel Motobecane for a bit). I've been checking out a bunch of the Ti frame manufacturers that would do custom geo for a guy like me and boy...you take it in the shorts when it comes to price. However, that's not a worry in my book cause I've learned the hard way, you get what you pay for.
All that said, I do believe that if I could keep a frameset around 2G, and be able to transfer all my components over to the new frame, that would be ideal.
Here's the list of manufacturers that I've compiled so far (feel free to toss in personal anecdotes and any new additions to this list, it would be greatly appreciated.):
Litespeed
Serotta
Dean
Merlin
Seven
Moots
Thanks guys!!!
