Then consider yourself lucky...I talked to both guys and they reiterated that I must buy a complete bike or nothing. They said sometimes, once a year, usually at the end of the year, they'll sell a frameset only...but for now, it's a complete bike or no bike at all. I said thank you and hung up. Honest to God.

Odd. I ordered my 333fab frameset in November. I suppose that's the end of the year thing...

When I bought my Davidson way back when, I had the option of a frameset, oppted for a complete bike as it was very reasonable.

Their explanation was, "We just can't profit by offering framesets alone." Ohhhhh-kayyyyyy.......

Well, if they have a wait-list they might only want to sell complete bikes to maximize their profit. Why make buyers of complete bikes wait while they build frames for folks who don't want to buy a complete bike? If that attitude seems offensive let's say they want to be sure that their frames are guaranteed fine components expertly installed so their performance is maximized.

Exactly... that's how I bought mine.

My SR group is only 14 months only, I don't need another group. In addition to the frame I bought an Enve fork, a Fiziks stem, King HS, and paint.

Ti, yes. Call Tom Kellog and be done forever. Comes with a 31.6 post too, which looks best with oversize DT and TT. I hate shims.

No he does not. Seven can probably provide one. I have a 31.6 carbon Deda post on mine. The ride is sublime.

There is a cheap solution:

But I know you been there, done that...

Actually, yours was much nicer.
