Yeah, ya done good John.
Always interesting to hear other's plans for a custom bike. I've ordered a few over the past 30 years and I'm always surprised that more people don't support the custom builders.
My custom ordered, made to measure bikes I can remember... a Confente Strada, Peugeot PY10CP, Peugeot PRO10, Dave Moulton Professional Road, Eddy Merckx Molteni Replica, Eddy Merckx Grand Prix 753, Fat City Slim Chance Tour de Trump MAVIC neutral support bike (long enough name?), and I currently have a Roland Della Santa Pista on order. Fortunately for me, most of the above were trade-outs for freelance work.
There is hardly a better feeling in the world than riding down the road on a bike made for you and only you!
Take care John,
Chuck
