I'm doing research for my dream frame (preferably in steel).

What is your choice if money is no object.

I prefer modern design, light weight and good graphics. Therefore good resale value.

At the moment I think it is Dario Peroggeti. Next comes Legend, Crisp.

Tommasini looks nice though I'm not fan of old fashioned style as lugs or steel fork.

I'm curious of your responses because I may miss "sleeper" European brands that are very well made! I want support new young framebuilders with good profile to replace Dario Peroggeti.

So far regarding UK brands, I didn't find any exciting. Pale, moderate proliferation.

All bike manufacturers do low-high end bikes with low - high end specs. So every company does range of machines. Here's my 2pence....

Cinelli - Italy

Canyon - Germany

Look - France

BH - Spain

BMC - Switzerland

I want a Talbot roadbike and a Rourke tandem so badly. None of the european builders do it for me at all.

Van Nics are made in Taiwan I beleive.

Passoni looks pretty sweet, mostly Ti though.

Newer steel Enigmas looks quite nice too.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
