|   About those custom frames. . . | Mike P.
Sep 26, 2001 11:53 AM | | With all the messages relating to custom frames I guess my curiosity has been sparked.
Anyone have a list of custom frame builders? Who would you suggest? Any good/bad experiences?
Thanks,
Mike |

| Agree | Stew
Sep 27, 2001 9:40 AM | | I have a TET road frame and am very happy with the build, comfort and finish.
I have had some problems with the paint, but when I contacted Tom he admitted that he had been having some problems and is going to repaint it for free. |

Sep 27, 2001 6:00 PM | | I second the Teesdale. I really like the way he uses a fastback seatstay, it looks great and stiffens the rear triangle. My foco looks great and rides great, but best of all Tom is super to work with and his prices are excellent. He will build in either steel or aluminum. |

Sep 26, 2001 3:58 PM | | I'm on my second week with a Strong Road frame. ALL of Carl's frames are custom. He has a strong reputation in the mountain bike community (check the mountain bike review sister site) and I love his road frame. Prices start at $1,000 for a custom steel frame, very reasonable, and Carl is prompt, courteous and knows how to build a bike that's right for you.

Sep 26, 2001 4:06 PM | | I posted recently on my positive experience with Carl Strong. What I didn't mention is that the bike he built me is the nicest bike I've owned. I've got 5000 miles on it and couldn't be happier with the Foco frame he made me. |
