You're welcome, if you were in the right place at the right time you would probably be able to make a living off it.
The focus coupled with your vision is what gets you there and is what it takes.
Your change ups on the same bike/frame even seem to always go well, never seen any that I wouldn't ride.
I think the Strawberry was my version of your deal for me but it was a blank canvas that also had a large budget so it was easier to get
there.
And of course was far quirkier than what you normally do.
That's another big facet of your process, often using what is on hand and practical while still taking it to a very high level.
