Im trying to find a decent steel hardtail and while I dream about riding a soulcraft/sycip/IF i am in college and thats just not gonna happen anytime soon (unless someone has a large one of these and wants to sell it to me hehe) i digress....
I stumble across soma fabrications:
http://www.somafab.com
they use r. 631 for the front and cro-mo for the rear...not as elegant as 853 but in my financial position they look decent. however I cant find any reviews beyond what is on their website. has anyone here seen one of these up close or know of any other frame builders in the 500-700 range (it doesnt have to be steel, the dean scout is almost in my price range...) any suggestions?
