It's been cool cause Mike seems to really, really like to make frames and build up bikes and he's steered me from some potential problem areas, i.e., there was a straight blade fork I'd been looking at and he noted they've been seeing a few of those fail. It's been fun doing this. I paid a bit more for the custom option, but have already learned quite a bit.
Whos building your bike Mike Desalvo?
Yeah im working with Joe from Promus Mootry right now because I couldnt afford desalvo. but im basically picking a choosing bits from bikes I like now, like angles from one bike, BB height and TT lengths from another bike. chainstay and HT lengths simply from what I think could be better from my other bikes.
