Howdy all,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and about some of your experiences getting a custom build done!

My main problem with pump pegs behind the head tube is that in nine out of ten cases once you stick a pump there it won't be sitting parallel to the top tube. That really annoys me and looks "cheap," and I cannot rely on a builder to get it right because it might still come down to the size of the mounting hole on the pump as well.

The choices I made for the chrome and paint are still not set in stone, as I will circle back with the builder after the frame is complete to confirm such details. But for now I'm satisfied that I will like the results I had in mind.
