After a few years of dreaming about Ti frames, I finally decided that carbon would be more budget friendly. By going this route, I could also have money to replace some aging cockpit items as well. Now that the frame has arrived without damage and appears to be what I had wanted, I have place an order for the new cockpit and other assorted items

My budget is still limited, so I will have to re-use a large portion of components to include my wheelset, fork and drivetrain. The big goal with this build is to have a frame that dissipates a bit of trail chatter over aluminum and slacks out the head angle about three degrees over my previous frame. So far, the build is right on track.
