imo it seems to be very difficult and complicated especially with the lugs and angles.
The process is not hard. But it is hard to do it correctly and have the frame last. Its hard to do it correctly, have it appear perfect after painting, size correctly and have it ride and handle properly. The top custom builders in the country have a 5 year + waiting list (Sachs, Baylis, etc.) Even Sacha White (Vanilla Cycles) now has a 5 year waiting list and he is relatively new on the scene (compared to Sachs, Gordon, Baylis etc.).
