3 very busy framebuilders off the top of my head that do extended headtubes are Rivendell, Sachs, and Kirk. Posts I have read on multiple forums all gush over the comfort and quality of the rides these builder's frames provide. Some may not care for the look, but each builder has far too many satisfied customers for me to believe each doesn't know how to properly size a frame.
