This may sound like
a far-fetched example of how to have a bike constructed, but it worked
for Robert. Robert lived on the coast of New Orleans but when he wanted
a bike built, he called on Michael to do the job. Robert sent Michael detailed
photos of a similar bike, specs, list of parts he wanted etc. and voila,
the bike was built to suit.
Often times doing a project
like this can be a blind leap of faith that does not work out. But in this
case communication between the builder and biker worked well.
It is never a bad idea to
ask around about a shop or company before you send your dreams and hard-earned
money away. Feel free to call us for a list of references and to discuss
your ideas for a custom bike.
