There are lots of talented framebuilders' wares on display at NAHBS, and one of my favorites is Dave Wages, the owner and sole framebuilder at Ellis Cycles. Dave won "Best of Show" at the 2010 NAHBS in Richmond, and his work is flawless. Here's a recent example. It's a polished Reynolds 953 stainless steel frameset. Note the clean brazing and lack of any file marks on the polished surfaces around the lug shorelines. He honed his skills at Serotta and Waterford before hanging out his shingle.

Absolutely. Now that vintage steel is all the rage, all of the big companies are now making "retro" models and there are a ton of johnny-come-lately frame builders emerging (which is a good thing). But I have a healthy amount of respect for all the European and American shops that have been continuously making classic steel frames through the dark decades of aluminum and carbon mass produced frames. If I decide to buy a new frame, it'll be from one of those guys.

There's also this one-man operation in Brooklyn, NY: https://www.fastboycycles.com/
Very tragic story behind the builder, as well.

In Italy, Tommasini still makes classic steel racing-style bikes.
A bunch of other small-scale or custom builders might qualify:
- Curt Goodrich (esp. the Randonneuse)
- Hampsten (both classic road race designs and the Tournesol all-road designs)
