I have nothing against Taiwanese production, and from '98 or so up to 2009 I believed Cannondale made the best aluminum frames on the market, but they've completely lost their cachet.
If you're looking for hot paint jobs, you could do a lot worse than Snarl over at
Vicious. Buy what fits -- then send the frame to him.
