The "best of the best" is marketing chimera, they're are several keepers of the flame, would you really like to choose between Bruce Gordon, Chris Kvale, Peter Weigle and that e-Richie fellow ? That is right up there with who's god is better, Yaweh or Allah or Ahura Mazda. Besides if I let out who the best framebuilder is, their backlog would be so long that I'd never get my frame before the heat death of the universe.
Also the KOFs charge a lot less than Litespeed/Seven/Serrota for their bikes made of recycled reactor tubing, so they're bargains in relativistic terms.
