Just in case somebody here has considered a Sachs... Richie is going to stop taking orders from new customers this 15 August.
He is a master of lugs and steel.
The waiting list was six years, I expect this announcement to push it out at least one more. $400 buys a spot on the list-then you have six years to save up.

Tell him I sent you! I met him in Feb, and we talk some.
Thanks, I hope I develop quickly as well, But with so many great builders out there, I don't see _my_ list getting quite so long. I think it's fantastic for the builders who have that sort of "job security".
If (humongous, slightly contradictory IF)I were to get on Richie's list, I'd be hoping for the frame before my 50th and I remember turning 40 not too long ago.
Buy some green bananas--you might surprise yourself.
