Have you ever seen non-custom frame with this geometry? _________________ Road Components Database Bikeporn -rate bikes

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.
