Frames
Why a custom frame?
You have been told you have a non-standard build or a "different
riding style." Maybe you have put a 150mm stem on every bike you own or
slide the seat as far back as it goes. You need a custom frame!
Maybe you can afford it now, and you want something that someone really
took the time to hand build for you, rather than some bike mass-welded
on an assembly line in a factory by employee #45778.
If you are Joe Perfect Proportion, really don't care much how your bike
fits, or simply don't what to spend the extra money for a custom frame,
then maybe this is not for you.
Is there a difference?
Ya, you becha! Some people think that a bike
from some well respected huge company should be better than a bike built
by a small builder because the big company has a million dollar research
and development budget. Guess what? They buy material from the same people
we do. When we build a bike frame and have to decide between tube "A" for
$47 and tube "B" for $41, we will use the better of the two because, hey
what's another $6? Which tube do you think your well respected huge company
will use if they are buying 76,000 of that same tube. Think about it, that's
$456,000 to them.
And do you really think that welder employee #45778 cares
about your bike, or the 100 bikes before or after your bike? Maybe, or
maybe not.
Will I pay more?
Of course you will pay more. You will also get
more... much more. You will get a bike designed just for you, a bike that
really fits.
