It also seems that it is off by almost exactly the amount of thickness of my headset which makes me wonder if he forgot to plan around it. Now this brings me to wondering whether or not my geo is off due to this half inch of difference as well. If that's just the way had to have worked that's fine, but it's still annoying at the end of the day, as I could have saved myself a couple racks and kept my original bike that I was perfectly happy with in the looks department. Sure my new one rides marginally better, but to drop the bread that I did it's kind of wack that it's not really something that I'm especially fond of looking at.
If a custom builder didn't build it right reach out to the builder and see if they can get it fixed or have any ideas.
Otherwise you are SOL.
