onemanarmy,

the custom dealio sounds better than getting an ellsworth, which are pretty overpriced, but they are nice nonetheless. plus it sounds like you want the 24" setup, which is pretty cool for your application. imo better than a 26" setup for what you are gonna use the bike for. plus i like sleeper style frames like in the pics above. i love the mrp/chain guide mounts already on the bb shell. and best of all, its custom steel!!! thats the ****. nothing beats the fit of a custom frame, period. and as all cyclists know, "steel is real".

damn maybe i want one too!

let me know if you do. I can keep you posted on when he starts mine and we can order yours too. Send them over together and save on shipping. If you want it shipped raw...no paint like I'm getting mine I'm sure I can get you decent deal on the frame and you can pick your own spec's. ALL of them. He was stoked when he got my very detailed spec list..haaaa. Pretty much a slightly larger version of the ellsworth. But I might rework my numbers to fit the 24/24 set up a bit better.

But he'll paint it for you. He's got powder coaters and custom painters. I saw one frame he did that was split down the middle paint wise...if you're looking over the top of it or from behind/front.... it was black on one side. Pink on the other...that costs extra but man is it pimp.

If a few people wanted them I'm sure I could get everyone frames for like $75-100 under his retail. He's a small shop so he can't go all that low..he's got to cover costs. He lost like $200 on that pink/black frame because he didn't charge extra for the custom bits.

for some reason I'm not into the evil doc. I think I'd rather have a Le Toy or a Sinister frame.
