Good luck!
Thx for that link. It looks like a great shop. Midwest local though. However, I E-ed the aquiant that has a custom steele and she replied with the name of her builder. It would be a road-trip, but do-able. I'll have to arrange to check out her ride.

I geeked out the Terry dealers as well. They are further off. But, I thought even riding one of them would give me a steele ride feel.

One of my friends who is a carbon lover said that he thought "steele was for folks who liked to feel the road beneath them"... meaning the steele is not forgiving? From what I read here, it's smooth? Hmmm...

I think the fitter will help decide which way is best to turn. If I'm so far out of whack to standard frames, the custom just might be my ticket.
