Bit too steep for my liking. Remember the market is munted and even parts are hard to get. I built a bike during late covid lockdown and it was terrible relative to the other times I've done a build.$3.5k is still good value in today’s market.
It's a real seller's market. The better he gets, the more he can charge, and the less time it takes.So what you're telling us is that the hobo that hangs out at the Buninyong bus stop gave great bang for the buck wristies, then jacked up his prices, and you aren't feeling twice as satisfied. Allegedly.
Makes sense why someone may or may not not get their drivers licence until their late 40s and keep riding the bus, allegedly.Reminds me of the hobo at the bus stop that gave great wristies to regulars on the cheap, then became more popular, doubled his price, and didn’t to twice as good a job...

A very good option for the purposes stated by @johnny I reckon, given he has a trail dually already.
I think so.I do like the look of that Stanton that @Asininedrivel posted, although I do have a problem with buying a bike I cannot at least sit on first to check that it's the right size for me. The inability to walk into a shop and even lay eyes on a bike that I'd like to buy is even more infuriating than proprietary standards.
I've only ever owned one steel frame and it was an anchor. I've been aiming at Al, Ti or carbon. Should I be putting steel into the mix as well?
I'd be curious to see the weight difference in the same frame geo and build strength steel vs aluminium. I really doubt it'd make as much of a difference as some people think. Steel is heavier, but its also stronger and doesn't need to be as thick for the same strength.I do like the look of that Stanton that @Asininedrivel posted, although I do have a problem with buying a bike I cannot at least sit on first to check that it's the right size for me.

I'll have oneGo vintage and get a Santa cruz super 8.
You need another new bike. Been hours since you ordered one.Had a Trans-Am in steel - sold it - later bought the Torrent and wished I kept the AM - Nothjnbbtk do with Geo or rideablity I loved the Torrent to - The steel had less trail chatter - so was super excited when they started offering the Torrent in steel.
Have 2 on the way - Made a new rule to wait til they arrive to order the next one - This Dreadnaught is going to be sickYou need another new bike. Been hours since you ordered one.
As others here have said: yes.Should I be putting steel into the mix as well?
