No. It's the job of the builder to design the frame so it meets your needs in terms of riding style, accessories, intended purpose, and so on. The customer should not be expected to dictate specific geometry to an experienced builder.

AFAIK... he has stopped taking orders on frames as he has enough to keep him busy for the next 5 years.

His frames are astounding and he draws on many decades of experience in racing.
