    What price to pay for a good chromoly GT frame like Avalanche, Bravado or Karakoram?

    Yes, that's true. I have a 1991 Karakoram Elite and a 1993 Richter 8.0 and have previously had a '92 Karakoram, another '91 Elite and a '93 Corrado.

    1990 Muddy Fox Prestige Pro

    WR Compositi made carbon seatposts in 29.4 (and still do) .... possibly some other Italian manufacturers too, as it's the size that was used by Scapin. FAT used 29.4 too, but I am not sure whether I have seen one with a carbon post.
