Not a ww at all, but I am satisfied with it. Frame is stiff and comfortable. I use it for races too.

don't worry about the weight - it's a steel frame. I really like it; the colour and the shape of the frame loks great. Well done!

Hmmmm.... I look at that slammed forward saddle position and that stem length and I wonder. Maybe it's just the paint job that's custom.

It is custom, seat tube has 49 cm center-center, top tube 57.6 cm. Have you ever seen non-custom frame with this geometry?

Well... I've been doing this for about 25 years now and I've seen lots of custom road frames in that time. None of the ones that were properly fit/sized for their owner required that the saddle be positioned all the way forward along the rails like that. To each their own I guess...

-- Don't get me wrong, it looks really nice.

Yeah perhaps the builder designed the frame with a non offset post in mind.
