Just curious as to how long do they quote you for custom builds.

Brent was going to rush it to me and the original goal was mid-january so even with the delay it was 17 weeks. Included in that is Thanksgiving, Christmas, New years, North American Handmade bike show, Valley of the sun stage race(He hosted a p/1 team he sponsors). Plenty of things to slow down a one man show but still excessive.
But a far cry from 5-6 years for a vanilla or sachs

I liked the blacked out SRM - nice unique touch. Very sharp bike.

SWEET bike. Don't sweat the delay it came out awesome. Rad's on year 3 waiting for a frame that only needed paint.
How are those TRP brakes? I've been looking at getting a set.

I like the look, and I'm sure you are flexible enough to do it.
I'm about 3.75. (and I'm old and brittle).
I guess the optimum total drop would be proportional to height, and arm length?
That is a hot bike. Congrats on the build.

That from the folks that build a sub-20 lb racing tandem . . . Nice!
Whenever we get a cusom build, we mentally add on an extra few weeks to delivery 'just in case'.

Very nice. I like the colors. The drop looks quite extreme.
Is the integrated seat post head just a chopped-off normal post?
Can you get the back bottle out of the cage? The clearance looks pretty tight with the bottle up high like that.
