Hi Richard,
 -=> Quoting Richard Glazer to John O'neill <=-

 The ones I looked at ran from about $200 to $350.  At this point 
 I am leaning to having a custom Marinoni frame made, they are very
 resonable in price.  I gave a local bike shop a wish list of 
 componants (Campy Veloce, American classic & TTT)  to put on a 
 Marinoni frame and depending on how much it cost, I may add the 
 carbon fork much later.  My upper torso is a bit long for my 
 leg length so I may need a steep seat tube angle to get my knees
 in the right position over the spindles.  I would like shorter 
 chain stays on my next bike to get the rear wheel in closer to 
 the seat tube.  The reason I am thinking about the carbon fork
 is to get back some of the vibration dampening I will loose with
 the steep seat tube and shorter stays.   The road bike I have
 right now has too long of a wheel base for tight turns (102cm).   
 I did not order anything yet, so any other suggestions you may
 think of could help!
 Thank you
 John O'Neill
