My Ebisu is along the line of semi-custom. I couldn't specify frame angles (standard lug set), but I could determine all tube lengths, choice of tubing (oversized vs. standard), wheelsize (I went for 650B), color, extra braze ons. It's a lugged-steel frame made in Japan in 2009. Other than the price, a key difference between it and my C&V projects is that assembly was a breeze, it fits intended tires and fenders with zero modification, the front rack is exactly where front racks are supposed to fit. And I've outfitted it with C&V components. It has a 60cm seat tube and a 55cm top tube, which is what I need, and I think it's pretty darn impossible to find those specs in a production C&V frame.
