I haven't, and while what I haven't seen is a lot, the whole deal sounds a little fishy. I wonder if maybe the custom builders aren't making things up in an attempt to explain why their frame are "better" than lower end lugged frames.
Shhhhhhhhh. You're not supoosed to tell !! Reminds me of a builder who put a little cross brace inside the bottom of the steerer tube to "stiffen" it. I prefer builders who differentiate themselves a little more credibly: distinctive style for example.
