A while back I decided it was time to build up a nice bike that I could be proud to ride, you know… something nice from the ground up. I started getting everything together. I got my wheelset built through the guys at Velomine. By the way, Ben at Velomine was a pleasure to deal with… Anyhow, I then started getting everything else together. Cinelli stem, Murphy seat post, origin8 this, origin8 that, KMC chain and so on. I had a color scheme in mind and wanted the bike to look mean. I was painting some chainrings for it and other odds and ends. I basically got all nice/decent parts and ended up skimped on the frame (which i know was retarded). I got some jap knockoff of a Leader frame and I definitely got what I paid for. It looked tight and was not total shit but I also wanted this bike to be my main bike so it just dident cut it. So this whole time Id been looking at builders (which I never thought Id have the cash for) and other nice frames from companies like the Cinelli, Leader, Masi, and whatever else. I came across Spicer Cycles through some google searches and loved what he was doing. Ive always wanted a pursuit frame but was never able to get them at a decent price. I also wanted a steel frame so bad. I gave up in my searching for a bit and just dealt with the old frame. One day I went back to Spicer and I ended up getting lucky. He had a clearance frame that just so happened to be my exact size, the exact style I wanted and was even a color red that was perfect, not to mention it was steel. It was on sale all because of some small powder coat issues which I could give a shit about. I got a hell of a deal but to be honest his prices are great to begin with. I gotta say his quality is outstanding and service was even better. Im just about done building it up and cant wait to put a shit load of miles on it… 
I love this frame.
