Ordering.
All orders start with an email or phone call. If you're in the area we can arrange to meet at the shop, discuss your ideas for a build, do a fitting, and hopefully have a coffee or a beer. If a local fitting isn't possible we can arrange one to be done in your area, or take measurements off an an existing bicycle and fine tune the geometry to best suit your needs. My current wait as of winter 2015/spring 2016 is about four months. I ask for a $500 deposit to get a place on the build list.
Componentry is essential to have on hand to provide proper fit and clearances. As a life long mechanic I enjoy helping you select the parts that will integrate best with your bike. At the beginning of the build I will invoice you for the parts balance, or ask that you mail your parts to my workshop. Vintage parts may be available, but can take time to source. Please inquire early in the process if you are interested.
Once I begin the build I will keep you regularly updated through my Flickr page. This is a good time to talk about finish options. After the frameset is complete and sent to the painters I ask that the remainder of the balance is paid. You can pick up your assembled bicycle at my shop, or help me arrange to have it shipped to you.
