Laying the "frame" work

Naturally, the first thing to buy when building a bike is the frame. Aluminum frames are nice and light, but lugged steel has more of a track feel, not to mention style. Plus they do not look like toys. After a bit of research (looking at expensive frames) I decided to go with an Alien Bikes frame. Alien is a Swedish company which sells Korean made frames from a warehouse in Traverse city, Michigan. Its a pretty dead on match for what I'm looking for:

- lugged steel
- 100% track frame geometry
- no holes for brakes, fenders, bottle holders, etc
- choice of colors!
- affordable
- includes track fork




The only dilemma I'm having is what size to order a 57 or a 59. My specialized is a 59, which fits fits me ok with riser bars, but is pretty uncomfortable with drops or bullhorns. I will be using deep track drops with the Alien so if the frame is too big I would be hunched over way to much. However, if I order a 57 it might be too small all around. I'll probably just end up ordering the 57 and exchange it if it doesn't fit.

P.S. The color is going to be gloss white
