Dear Serottans:
It is, doubtless, rather odd for your Doctor to be shopping for a frame when he is well in arrears with his 25.00 payment to Mr. Keno. However, your humble correspondent will, dauntless, proceed with his query.
Your fellow rider does love steel. It is inexpensive. It is durable. Lugged frames can be repaired, and your faithful piece of Masters/3 pack-fodder is, shall we say, somewhat diffident in a pack, and somewhat, er, feared, for reasons that are less than complimentary. In other words, frame repair is a possibility that should be considered. Your wobbling "hammer" (a terrible combination) would prefer to spend no less than 900.00 on a custom frame with the appropriate 74 seat, 73.5 head, 42mm rake, 59 seat tube, 59 top tube geometry for your Doofus.
Currently, there look to be two possibilities:
Mercian: cheap, either flexy and moderately heavy or stiff and ponderous, but wonderfully eccentric....
Curtlo: at the 900 limit with a steel fork, but cool in an odd way with the "Tron"-esque graphics.
Any suggestions? What should be the proper racing steed for your Phonic Physician? Other possiblities one might consider?
Your Most Squirrely Servant, Unless He Is Pulling, Which Is Really The Best Use of His Modest Talents,
Dr. D. Doofus, Esq.
