What's "lowest cost?" If you really want the cheapest price, look into
to shipping getting a frame built in Taiwan. Even with the price of shipping, the cost of building a frame can't be beat. Then again, China has framebuilders too. So you may want to look into having one build there. No wait, Vietnam. I hear Vietnam has the lowest labor rate - less than $3/day. I bet there are framebuilders in Vietnam who can do it cheaper@! Other countries you may want to check out are Phillipines, Cambodia, Uzbekistan, Iraq - that may be a good choice!, Iran (just don't tell them you're danish) or countries in Africa! |

If you want carbon, Calfee will retrofit their own frames only. I checked on this, as I almost bought a used Calfee for this purpose. Matt O. |

Oil field pipe is typically 9" I.D./9-5/8" O.D. 57-ksi steel. I think this is a bit overkill for a bicycle frame unless the rider is a 40-foot tall giant. -- Tom Sherman |

I couldn't justify paying tom kellog at spectrum cycles 450 dollars for
installing S & S couplers on the Ross touring bike. The frame would have no guarantee either. I think Blinky does them for around 375. "bfd" wrote in message oups.com... What's "lowest cost?"
