Interesting possibility, which I hadn't thought of.

Thinking about it, though, the same is true in the watch world, but that doesn't stop manufacturers from doing lots of small batch, numbered editions, even at the lower priced end of the spectrum (e.g. Christopher Ward).

Even watchmakers who do customs, e.g. RGM, usually offer numbered limited editions, so why would the dynamic be any different for bikes?

i also cannot imagine that I'm the guy who cares! I've met some pretty geeky, obsessive cyclists!
