If you like the plushness and vertical compliance of a steel bike, they can make you a frame that does that.
If you like ultra-stiff for the quick-off-the-dime speed demon in you, Seven can make you a frame that can do that, too.

I know Serotta creates frames with you in mind and probably IF, Moots and Titus.

One thing I noticed about the few bikes I demoed, they didn't seem to have the "snap" of my Aegis. Serotta was able to build that into my Ottrott. Also, Serotta did a great job of raising my head tube to the height I needed without a lot of slope in the tt. I still can't figure out how they did that and still give me enough standover height.

And I agree, why waste time with a stock frame designed for an average rider when a custom bike can be tuned to your needs and riding style.

Don't know about Serotta's ti bikes but my Ottrott can be rebuilt in case it is damaged in an accident. The tubes are put together by lugs so they can be pulled out and replaced. I also have a crash replacement warrenty on it that is through Serotta.

If your interested check out the Serotta forum http://www.serotta.com/forum/index.php? Lots of information on all kinds of stuff including their bikes.
