Dunno, but I'm also not from the NE. In the northwest steel frames for XC and Cross are still really popular. Thats probably due to the local frame builders such as DeSalvo and Vanilla, who both have a very strong following.How many remember the joy of an ultra-lite N.E. single track frame that turns intuitively, climbs like it has an anti-gravity belt, and takes on technical trails like it is an interstate highway?
I sponsored the road section because there seems to be a lack of orders for hard tail frames in recent times. Skinny tires seem to be hot. I have been making a few 29er's and I have some 27.5's on order, but traditional New England Single Track, point and shoot type frames are becoming old news. What can we do to rejuvenate this category of frames.

What I meant was - a bigger photoThe 25th anniversary frame is available in any size. I only have 9 lug sets left and that will be the end of those. I do have some other fancy lugs, but I want to keep the the 25th year numbers very low.
I believe its 4 yearsHow many years is the wait on Vanillas now?
I believe its 4 years
It's not spam when we ask for itI don't want to turn this into spam, but I will post some photos tomorrow.
I'm getting my MBA and I told my wife I was thinking about ordering one of their frames as a "reward" for finishing (I'll graduate in '09).....she told me, you better order it nowThat's pretty funny. I have never had a custom frame simply because I can't even wait 3 months
pal of mine is flying up to Portland for his fit session with Sacha. so close.I believe its 4 years
