I looked at thier bikes awhile back The guy's name is Hiroshi I think. IIRC He doesn't build the bike he does the sizing and then sub contracts the work to someone else.Frames are/were about $1100. Nothing necessaily wrong with that but for the same money there are a heck of a lot of builders you can work with one on one. Bruce Gordon's venerable BLT frame is under a grand. Tom Teasdale has been around a long time and also builds a very good custom touring bike frame for under a grand.
Bruce's website is
www.bgcycles.com (I think)
Tom is at
