From an environmental perspective I argue rescuing a used carbon frame has to be the biggest win (Its already made, if it was going to be a land fill for the next 10000 years and you re purpose it, its way more environmentally friendly than rescuing a recyclable frame. | |

Oct 9, 2010 at 13:06 | comment | added | dee-see | For a quality steel frame, your best bet would be to look for an old-but-taken-care-of frame from a known brand. A model from the years when everything was steel. Adding this as a comment since I'm not really telling you how to recognize quality. | |
