Lee at steelheart is kinda busy but I suspect he could be distracted by green.
Gav obviously but he's very busy so I understood.
Harris.... would love one.
Other option is buy a second hand bike and rebuild it up to modern spec? Spondons come up here and there.
Or go the cheap route and see Hard up for one of their cafe racer style frames?

the re build route of someone elses bike spondon etc. think I would prefer to spend the extra and take longer
as then its my bike , I have been looking at harris and spondon projects for a year or more still not ruled it out just yet

Another vote for steelheart from me, the quality of lee's work puts spondon to shame & his frames are far more visually interesting than harris + you could get something really special if you get his creative juices flowing  |
