oh, and what i want has changed, pretty much daily. today i want slack geometry, drilled for two brakes (for when my knees go and i have to SS it), chrome fenders and chain guard, and a big chrome bell. i want the cruisiest fix ever.
I hear all that. I'm trying not to be a ****, but this morning I did email Mike and ask him to shorten the seat tube a bit. I had it spec'd with a 54cm tube which is what my two favorite rides are, but I decided I'd like a little lower standover and a bit more seat post extension. That way if I really want, I can get a little more saddle to bar drop.

The problem is that I fit a pretty standard frame, so there's not really much magical to be done for me so I feel like I need to fiddle around with something just so that it really is "custom."

What a mind game.
