my  fave 2 parts


Are there any requests you can't handle? What's been your weirdest request?
We have a fixture to make pretty much any kind of frame. But if it requires some wacky tubing that we don't have then we can't make it. Our weirdest request was probably making pro rider bikes that look like other manufacturer's frames, but with our tubing and dimensions. :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:


and

In an ever-growing market of cookie-cutter frame designs, what type of rider do you feel custom frames appeal to?
Older riders that know exactly what kind of frame they want. Someone that has ridden many different frames and wants something unique. :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

this is why i love s&m :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:

Nice article.  S&M probably have the set-up that most other bike companies can only dream about.

Not sure what the writer is on about with "In an ever-growing market of cookie-cutter frame designs" though.  None of the companies who are competing at the same level as S&M sell cookie cutter/catalogue frames, even if they are produced overseas.

Have to say I think their new RB CW & TC team frames look pretty much like everybody else's frames. Certainly looks as though they are slipping into the 'generic gene pool'....?
