Harry Quinn would build what you wanted- almost no questions asked.
A co-worker ordered a time trial bike. He wanted ultimate short chain stays- he drafted the frame up full scale even.
frame ordered and Quinn did inquire do you REALLY want chain stays with vertical dropouts THAT short?
Yes.
the frame fit only Clement 220 Criterium setas, and they had to be perfect. 195's had a casing too big, so did everything else save Clement No 3 seta track tires.
Last I knew the frame was wall hanging as he devised a way to crimp the seat tube to gain some clearance.
Bike was pretty mind you.

He did acknowledge that he must have measured the tire he made the design from at a tight region of the casing, should have considered tolerances.
