Habanero definitely has a future customer as soon as I get the funds
saved up. I really think the person you are dealing with is just as
important as the product you are buying.

Well, I was considering Habanero, too, until he started spouting
off-topic rightwing nuttery in a bicycle newsgroup. I just won't
do business with folks with dittoheads who just parrot Rush
Lamebrain.

LOL, sometimes you have to separate someone's politics from their
business.

While I don't like neocons any more than the next person, Mark does seem
to be importing a good product from Red China, and selling it at a fair
price.

I figure that most of the parts I put on a frame will be sourced from
another company. I have Japanese drivetrain, Australian wheels, Japanese
tires, Japanese handlebar, Italian bar tape, a German rack, and an English
saddle. The LEAST I can do is buy an American frame. Gunnar allows me to do
that at a reasonable price. Their frames are not much more expensive than
Habaneros---and they're made with American made steel, to boot. Good steel,
True Temper OX Platinum. True, it's not titanium. But steel is real. :-)
