They aren't entirely unheard of. I knew the brand before Scelia came. I think they're known for steel hardtails.
But if you think about it, choosing a smaller company makes sense. These big companies that mass produce frames would probably charge more for a custom frame as opposed to perhaps the folks at Independent Fabrications.
