in the market for a new bike/frame. got to the stage in life where price is not a problem, but like anyone, i do like good vfm.
had some prices for a custom steel hardtail, a semi custom steel hardtail, and looked at a few off the peg things too.
obviously a steel custom frame, where the builder measures you in person, cuts the tubes, and builds to your exact spec, is gonna be pricey.
but my heck, what a difference to a good quality off the peg build.
something total custom, to say something like a shand (semi custom) then something like a cotic solaris or a stanton.
the prices or price difference really is a bit shocking.
is there that much of a difference in the 3 options?
