I was really interested in the Hampsten Bike Frames for a while, too. He was supposed to be at Bike Expo, but was a no show. A few months ago I drove all the way out to his shop one day to discover that it's actually his garage (unmarked even) and he only opens by appointment.. So I never went back, it would be really awkward for me to go there with an appointment and NOT want a frame, you know?
