A lot of these builders (and Hampsten is really a designer and outsources the building) are 1-2 man outfits so appts are critical. If you were just being a look-e-loo, he wouldn't have wanted you there. But I can't imagine that if you had said "I'm looking for a local builder, you have a good rep but I've never seen your bikes. Can I come by for a few minutes?" that he would have turned you away.
BTW, outsourcing isn't a bad thing. Steve Rex outsources his ti frame builds to Jim Kish, one of the best in ti craftsmanship.
