Looking for custom bicycle builder in NJ area
I'm not sure this is the right forum, but I'm going to ask this question here to start with.
I am interested in a custom made bicycle. I live in NJ and would like to visit a custom shop to get a proper evaluation of my needs and a fitting if I decide to go forward. I've seen many great shops in the western US. Can someone guide me to a custom bicycle builder near me? Recommendations? I am looking for a steel road bike for regular use including long distance (non-racing) rides.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the information. I'm looking for a bike that can be used for light touring, long rides, commuting, and other non-racing rides. The touring I do is inn-to-inn (no camping), but I do use a set of rear panniers. I'd like a bike that is lightweight and responsive enough to use without the rack and panniers for club rides, yet strong enough to take on a 10 day trip. I need a bike that fits perfectly.
I think I'll visit Spectrum Cysles and Bilenky.

Try Cedarboro Cycles, a 1 man operation near Reading. HE does the frame, a local shop does the assembly.
