I have heard so many of the stories that there is no way I would consider them a candidate to build a bike for me. Even stories from repeat customers who have developed a relationship with the owner who promised them better service the second time around and then went right back to their old ways.

I have seen their bikes on several occasions and they do look nice. But do a search on RBR and see what you find. I've never seen a "Dean is so great they delivered the perfect bike on time" testimonial.

I wonder how they stay in business.
