I'm speechless
My girlfriend just sent me a link to an article about the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
Apparently this website lets you design anything you want and it will make it for you out of whatever material you want. ANYTHING YOU WANT! I'm going to start making my own cogs or bars or stems or cranks or.....ANYTHING!!! Think about it.....your own lugs or dropouts. You can bring back the vintage stuff we love! Sure it might cost a butload, but still I can make my own early 1900s track frame now if I wanted to.

not to shoot down the whole custom frame idea.. but i dont think they will weld/braze or anything like that (although I have not read the entire site). but you could machine a frame out of solid bar that would be all one piece. not that you would want to.. but you could.

yeah, I was actually thinking more along the lines of anything I could machine myself instead of buying, for those nice little touches

i have had custom parts made before, and let me tell you... if they will make anything you want and run only one piece, or even a small batch(>50-75) it will cost you an arm, leg, and maybe one testi.
but on the other hand, there is nothing more enjoyable than designing and using your own parts!
edit: does look very cool though.

A friend of mine did use emachineshop few years ago. He had this crazy idea of making a custom rear light for his harley... Shaped like.... I do not know english word for it. Pice of metal that "punks" use for fights. There is a hole for each finger and some optional spikes on the outside.
Anywho, he did end up oredering 20 of them, and he gave/sold the rest of them to friends. It loked very cool, and was not that expensive. However these pices were rather simple. I mean it was just a chunk of half inch aluminum run through CNC. Something like a custom frame would be way cheaper and better if you had a custom frame builder do it for you.

Revit: seriuos? You're typing on a PSP? The Wi-Fi capability then means that whenever you're at a hotspot, you can fully access the whole net with a PSP without any extra hardware or software, it works out of the box?
