This will likely become my default recommendation for people that want smart/all-rounder prodcution frames that can handle a front load well. Today it's kogswell, but there are some issues there that make building them up a bit wonky-fussy. And these frames are made in US. with standard diameter/9-6-9 tubing. This is essentially a modern RB-T with low trail and horizontal dropouts.
$900 for frame/fork
smart smart smart.
