+1 on Curtlo. He built me a beautiful, light, custom steel road frame for significantly less than what others would charge. Fits me like a glove, and I can ride it comfortably for 12+ hours. But you do need to be prepared to wait; mine took almost six months to arrive. If you're not in a rush, I'd recommend you
check him out.
