I actually thought there already was a list of touring bike builders somewhere on this forum?

Thanks.
No, there isn't a list of custom touring bike builders within the forum. Or, if there is, it didn't turn up in a search for threads with the keyword Custom in the title. A few discussions of course but no list of customs.
I reviewed Waterfords site and I've actually owned a Waterford Adventure Cycle many years ago, but I couldn't find details of this touring model among their current offerings. Seemed to be listed as a "Legacy" project and the Gunnar brand site has links to their parent org, Waterford.
If it's a proven custom-framed touring bike platform, I don't think it matters what the material is. I'll check the others out.
