What do you do when you are buying a custom bike?[/QUOTE]
By the time you spend several hours and a few hundred dollars to be professionally measured and "fitted", then talk with the frame designer for a few hours telling him all about the type of riding you do now and exactly what you want the new bike to do, and then he measures your current bike in more ways than you knew was possible - when the custom bike arrives all you'll have to do is unpack it, make a few minor adjustments to things like seat height or handle bar tilt, and it will be all ready to go, fitting perfectly and handling just as you requested.
