I've raced many "off the shelf" bikes, and several customs since I started racing track in 1986. I've raced MANY aluminum, carbon, and steel bikes in BMX, track, xcmtb, and road races... mostly at the expert level. I also have spent a lot of time, and money the last few years learning to build my own frames, which I can do reasonably well with enough time to correct silly mistakes.
I wish Richard would extend his list another few months so I could get on it. Does that answer your question.
