That one looked enticing to me (and I'm an hour or so from the seller) and a very reasonable price for a custom frame, but that's the rub: It was designed for someone else's dimensions, not mine. Sure it might be a reasonable fit, but if I wanted to get a custom frame, shouldn't I go whole hog (and of course pay 3 or 4 times as much)? Is that crazy?
