Framebuilders, please talk about your experience building low-trail, front-loaded rando bikes for yourselves and refining your designs based on your own riding. I want such a bike, and I want to select a builder with this kind of deep personal experience, among other criteria. I'd like to have a builder who loves the kind of bike I want.

I have spoken to a few custom builders, but I'm sure I can learn something more from you guys.
