That is to cool! Did you give the measurements to the builder, or does he suggest settings? I'd love to have a frame built just for me. What material is being used?
Totally Cool!!

I actually met with him a couple of times (Oakland) and rode around with him a bit. An interview about my riding habits, he measured me and my old bike, and then he sent me home, and he'll call when the bike is ready..:)
He will put my initials in Sterling silver on the bike ], and I have no idea where.. :) it'll be a surprise..
I don't know when the bike is going to be ready, and it is KILLING me..
I still need to decide what color should the decals be (his name), what color should the bar tape be. Since the bike is yellow (kinda mustard), and the Campy groupset is gray, and the wheels are black, I thought the decal and tape should be black too.. I have a few more days to decide about the decals..

Ahhh, lugged steel!. Still the best form of construction and materials, IMHO, of course. :lol:
What tubeset is your frame being built from?
Congrats on your new ride. Good choice on the Campy bits, too. Enjoy it! :beer:
