I just don't get why having a custom ti for the same price as an off the shelf carbon ( ESPECIALLY if it was discuss with fitter/doctor/builder) is the same as getting off the shelf with different size components.

I have my first Final exam today in Physical Anthropology. Sounds hard, but I'm the least worried about that final.
Monday = Latin and Sociology. Ewww.
Today I consult with a law student about how to divorce my ex husband even though I can't locate him, and some other crap. Is there some God of Divorces i can make a sacrifice to?!?
I would love to have DJ as an Xmas present.

Well apparently it "wasn't necessary". I tried other bikes and the LBS's were losing patience trying to fit a bike to me that would allow me to ride pain free. I wasn't even going to argue with the postes. No matter what I was going to say, they figured any bike can be fitted to me. I know other people have back issues but I wasn't going to risk being paralyzed again on a bike with a geometry that doesn't suit my needs.

Hi Fooeys! I'm chilling at a coffee shop eating a tasty salad and relishing in the fact that I finally turned in a final paper.

There is nothing about the fit of your custom that probably couldn't be resolved with some headset spacers or stem length. But by going custom, you get the exact stem length you need for correct handling, without having to compromise by going longer or shorter to fit you to the frame. Does that make sense?

re: Shadiyah
Pretty nice compared to the old stomping grounds, from what I hear.
I'm loving it.

Of course you're loving it! You get unlimited snuggles.
The real question is, how's the snow?
