After the quite active discussion on the Cinelli Super Corsa, I've decided
this
isn't the one for me. I do appreciate your collective opinions...I really
do.

What about the Ritchey Road Logic? I know it's not lugged; it's either
TIG
welded or fillet brazed (by Tom himself, I understand, if you want to
spring
for the extra cost).
I sure do love the blue with white panels that appears to be a standard
paint
scheme. I'm inclined to think it's a decent design, what with Tom being
around
the block on a road bike a few times himself. I've owned a number of
Ritchey
Logic parts (pedals, bars, stems, etc.) over the years and have been very
pleased with them. They've given me good value, low weight, and what I
would
consider decent design. I'm aware that they're all sourced out of Taiwan,
but
appear to be good quality nonetheless.

The Road Logic seems available at $900-$1000; a LBS has one for $999 in
stock
that's my size, though in a God-awful yellow/white--guy says he'd order
the
blue/white and could have it in 7 days.

Maybe this price is now getting close enough to a custom frame price that
I
should consider that.

I do dearly love the Richard Sachs frames I've seen (all two of them), but
am a
little scared of the $2500+ I understand they run and the 9-12 month
wait-time
I was told they require. I remember a wonderful red/white Sachs I rode
beside
for a number of miles during a mid-80's Markleeville Death Ride. That was
a
real head-turner frame.

I'm not in a terrible rush, but waiting a year for a Sachs seems a little
too
long.

Your thoughts?

Thanks much...

Buy yourself a superb Waterford-made Gunnar ($700) or such if you don't
mind 2cm sizing (Custom for $1K) , or flip for something else if you have
more money to blow. Gunnars are most often delivered within two weeks
(custom is about 4-6weeks now).
