Thanks. It's not quite custom though.
Casati may not be 'cutting edge,' but they do make both up-to-date and classic bikes (made-to-measure and production carbon frames as well as m-t-m and standard sized handmade steel frames), and have a definite lineup which they'll customize the finish on if you want. Judging from their list of
rivenditori, their biggest market seems to be Germany, but indeed they are small, and they have no retail partner in the US.
