I agree. You can't go wrong with any of the ones mentioned. A couple of comments to consider. Tom Kellogg, Richard Sachs, and some of the other builders who litterally build your frame personally have a long, long wait. So if you're serious and want something soon, decide and place your order.

I had an exceptionally good experience with Seven. But that largely depends upon the input from the fitter at the LBS. The same holds with Serotta and the other larger builders. Unless you physically are close to where they build, your fitting is done remotely and you are at the mercy of the local rep. I also had a good experience with Waterford. My 853 was built 12 years ago. The paint still looks brand new execpt for a few sratches and nicks I put on over the years. The lugs and craftsmanship are exceptional.
