Kogswell P/R 700c, 64cm. $350.
64cm ctt seat tube
60cm tt
65mm fork rake (runs out to about 40mm trail on this bike - great for front baggage)
this bike fits more like a 62cm frame, with plenty of standover. the main production flaw (the bottom head-tube extenstion) was corrected by a framebuilder.
it comes with a semi-custom porteur rack.
price includes frame, fork, headset, brakes (tektro CR-720), aluminum fenders (for tires up to 700x35) and the front rack.
Overall, it's a sweet touring bike - lively when unloaded, but can haul a shitload of firewood/beer/miscellaneous stuff when you want it to. Ask around - a few other pointythrees can testify as to how great this bike is. Note that fork and rack would make a great addition to your long haul trucker or cross check - you just have to take the frame with you as well.
Some of us like things. Some of us are just joyless, bitter assholes.
