I am starting to look for a nice steel frame to replace the nasty aluminum Klein that I currently have. Looking for a nice long distance setup, not a race frame. Nothing real fancy needed - but something worthy of Campy Record (almost 20 years old now) componants. Any ideas?

Looks like you scored....good job.
Like I previously stated I'm only a pleasure rider but enjoy the carbon. The bike I bought was a Giant OCR C3. Found it last summer with 100 miles on it for $850. Poor guy bought it new, did a couple of rides and found he had cancer. Sold my aluminum framed Titus for $800 so it only cost $50.00 to upgrade to an almost new bike. Perhaps not the best bike but I'm not the best rider either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)  |

Looking forward to a non brutal frame, this one is plenty stiff but not nasty harsh like my old Klein Criterion frame. I just realized that I am doing a 'tub swap' with my bike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
