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 great! Congratulations (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) it's always rewarding to build stuff isn't it? I noticed a definite improvement in ride quality with a carbon seat post but the're so expensive for a good one.
charliew....RE the seats...I tried about 10 different seats before finding one that worked for me. The trick is to find the right shape so that your "sit bones" on your ass contact the seat properly. Get it wrong and it results in very short rides and the need for Preparation H. For me seat selection was the most difficult part of getting into cycling. A $150.00 seat can rub you worse than a $20.00 seat if it is not the right shape for you. The fit for me was this seat that was pretty cheap and has the slot\relief that is a must for comfort. It's a little softer but has a great shape. |
