Im not knocking your decisions here. Just trying to let you in on a little info and gather information.
Yeah, but are the benefits of a custom frame all that many? I can adjust my seatpost height , use a longer/shorter stem to compensate for the TT and ST length (for the most part). I'm looking for a lugged, track geometry, and there are plenty of frames with 74-5 degree ST and HT angles. And finding decent tubing isn't too hard. So does spending a few hundred dollars more really help that much?
