Tim,

Check out my website and drop me a line. I'd be happy to discuss options
with you. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to get it done in time for this
winter, but that would give you some time to necessarily "revise" your
budget.

Cheers,

Tony

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Rain Frame builder?

I'm wanting to build a custom rain bike for this upcoming winter. I know
there are some great local custom frame builders, but before I make a
decision I want to make sure I'm aware of all my choices. So I thought I
would ask OBRA-land out there to send me the names of any custom frame
builders out there. Either big name builders or small volume low profile
builders are all okay. Here is some information on what I have in mind for
the frame that might help lead me to a builder specializing in this area...
I really like the idea of supporting our local talent...and who better top
build a wicked rain bike than someone in the rain riding capital of the
world!

1. Frame material: STEEL
2. Road race geometry similar to the Specialized Roubaix frame series
3. Disc brake compatibility
4. plenty of fender clearance (no cutting fenders for frame clearance)
5. fender braze-ons, pump peg, battery and light brackets?
6. I would hope to have it by the end of September or sooner
7. I began with a tentative budget of $1000, but that is looking a little
light....?

I've done some online looking at Vanilla & Co-Motion, but I have heard there
are some small local builders doing some great work too, I'm just not sure
how to find them.

Thanks in advance for any information...
