If I had only one bicycle and no other form of private transportation, I would most indeed order a custom made titanium touring bicycle that would serve as my all 'round transportation bike. I would most likely order it from either MOOTS or Lynskey's.
OTOH- If I were an old man who already owned four bicycles, as well as a fairly decent automobile, with access to public transportation, I would never order a custom made bicycle! That would just be stupid!
