    Smilies and lols? - you sound like a 14 year old who's snuck into daddies beer.
    You may even have a budget in mind.

    starting with the headtube size is an interesting way of choosing a frame. I'm guessing you already have a set of forks with a 1.5" steerer? If so, what forks are they?

    And as CD says...what's your budget?

    A whole 21 words (1/5 of which are pointless) in 3 posts, so I'll give it the seriousness you are

    Cannondale.

    Cannondale Jekyl or Prophet. Not much choice other than Cannondale for a 1.5 head tube.

    Whilst I'm still a relative newb on bike forums, I've been riding over 20 years and am a moderator on another popular forum.

    Your point above is a little daft supafly. You did not ask a specific question, nor did you explain what you are looking for with any sense that could justify a constructive answer.

    Don't have a dig at others for your own incompetence.

    This forum is full of good advice, but like life if you ask a stupid question - you invariably get an equally stupid answer.

    I wanted a general opinion, people to speak what frame springs to mind, if you be specific you will get a specific answer.....If I wanted to be that specific I would know exactly what I want.
    Now I appreciate that some people on here have no real life other than the seriousness that they continue to display on forums, but people can be more accommodating to others without being twats, its simple.

    The general opinion appears to be that you are a bit dopey.

    Since your only criteria is a 1.5 inch headtube,
