Thanks for the input Ron,

Pretty much everything I have heard of Shell Valley in recent times has been good, but I like to do my homework before I throw money into something.

Frame strength is one of those things that I care about a great deal, so if anyone out there has any good info on their current frames and how tough they are, I'd be really interested in hearing it.

Actually, I also have another question for the knowledgable folks - what is the biggest tire you can fit on the front and back without issues?

Thanks again,

Jeremy
