Hi!
Does anybody have any experience with Roark Cycles?
http://roarkcycles.com/frame/ They make what appears to be totaly custom Ti frames with some pretty nice looking machined chain and seatstays! Beautiful as a matter of fact. Apparently as US military contracter they have metal working machinery that enables them to taper Ti tubing like no other manuf. In reality they can replicate the shape of tubing from classic lugged steel frames (no lugs of course)! Can also provide almost any braze-on one could wish for like braze-on front derailleur and downtube shifter bosses (if one likes that sort of thing). Of course this doesn't mean much if they don't know what they're doing, however they seem to be very much up to the task! The pricing seems to be very competitive too, I was quoted $2200 incl. Reynolds full carb fork... Appreciate your feedback thanks!!!
