Agreed but I truly believe frame builders have a very special, way more whacked out version of it, builder, fitter, financial consultant, psychologist, marriage counselor, blacksmith, painter, jeweler, etc, etc, ad nauseum, on and on.
When I had the Strawberry built, it was quite a bit more than the base price when it was done. When Dave saw my eyes get big he said "I put about 25 extra hours in on it and charged you for 10."
I said "Tx Dave" and moved along, it was worth every penny and a PITA to be sure with what I wanted.
I couldn't have been happier with how it turned out, these guys are wizards.
