strong frames custom blend

after 3 months, my custom road frame has arrived. no, it's not some uber exotic carbon wunder frame. it's actually a very modern steel steed. it's made by Strong Frames, from Bozeman, Montana. i talked to him a bit, sent him my beloved fastback frame, and he took it from there. it was really that easy.
it's made from true temper, columbus, and reynolds. a nice "custom blend" of tubes to make it something special.
really simplistic graphics, nice black paint, and a very elegant look.
i dig the chainstays.
it turned out very nice. it weighs in at 3 pounds, 3 ounces. i plan on using most of the parts from the fastback, but it will eventually get an Edge Composites fork.
