Stop-gap frame - sick of waiting!

for someone who is throwing cash about, you seem to be a little befuddled with the basics.

Most people tend to be greasy bike fiddlers for years, ride several bodged together conversions etc before treating themselves to a custom order frame..

With my other 'obsessions' I've learned the hard way and bought cheap to start and eneded up wasting loads of money and time. That was windsurfing where it is all about the gear, I suppose it's different with bikes. Saying that my current Decathlon roadbike for commuting which cost £270 two years ago had new wheels, front and back after only 4 months and the headset bearings are screwed already.

I didn't know that about the forks so thanks for that info.
