Capitol CX Frames
Anyone heard of the Capitol frames? I'm not really coming up with much on Google. It looks like a new company.

They're based out of Cleveland, I'm in Akron. The carbon frames aren't anything special. Open mold frames (Ridley and Scott bikes I think) that they're importing from China.
The metal stuff however is pretty rad. It's all fabricated in the USA with custom geometry options. A custom steel frame will start at about $900 from what I've been told. One of the local shops has been working pretty closely with them about getting the geometry dialed in on a line of 29ers and fat bikes. The guy behind Capitol hasn't been building bikes for too long, but does have a pretty extensive background in aerospace fabrication. The steel 29er frame I saw was very well made. Fast turn around time as well.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Are they in any shops?

Is Edge Outdoors in Medina? I'm just south of Cleveland. I've seen a couple for sale but hesitated on pulling the trigger.
