Carl Strong definitely knows how to run a business, and treats his work and his
customers as if his life depends on it.

Sure wish he still built steel frames, though!

Let us know how the process goes.

Dave Kirk is also in Bozeman and is a great guy. I’d go with him for steel.

You guys got me confused (not hard...)
Are we still talking about head badges or have we in true Paceline fashion broadened it to which builder you would choose?

Congrats on the order!

Man, FF is up to 21 months now? I would have ordered from them in '16, but the wait was too long - maybe 10 months(?).

Haha. I stand corrected. I should know. “Top Six.” But Carl is still numero uno.

FF just completed their 1000th frame few months ago. I was number 257, that was delivered Oct 2013

Have fun with your build, be fun to watch.

Carl built me a ti frame in 2003. I’m still riding it. You won’t be disappointed.
