Making the custom frame and building it up as a complete bike was the whole package.
I don't really have an 'LBS'.

Is there a poll answer choice for this??
That's not really the question she's asking, she's not doing a custom bike, but rather a custom build of a stock frame.

I won a frame, fork and headset and went the LBS route. I had some components (wheels, brifters, handlebars, seat post) and ordered some through him (brakes, derailleurs, crankset, bb, all the small parts).

Yeah I could have done most of the work myself (I don't remember if the fork was already pressed in - I don't think I could have done that....), but I wanted to support him - he was a pretty new shop at the time, he was going to have the right tools for the job (we didn't have tools for servicing outboard bottom brackets at home at that time) and it saved me a lot of messing around.
