Choosing a builder?
I am thinking about a custom frame. I have a list of potential builders - selected based on materials and the looks of the bikes in their image galleries. These people seem to make bikes with the features and configurations I want. I looked to see if they have the frame style I want.
I have a decent fitting bike, with a few smaller fit issues and some design feature requests.
I am not sure if I should prioritize getting someone who is local to me? Their level of enthusiasm with a project like mine? Years of experience? Something else.
What are your tips? How did you choose? What would you tell a newbie?
