As above,

I'm looking to buy a custom trails frame, and i'd love it to be uk built instead of american. I've emailed curtis and thats a no go, as they dont really do full custom. Anyone else i shoudl try?

tbh there is no uk companies that will actually build a custom frame in the uk

only people i can think of is maybe pashley but it would be expensive i imagine

if u go american then s&m can do a custom based on a current stock model

or standard can do a fully custom fame

if you contact jess at sbc as kev said,buy one raw none painted,itll be here real fast or itll end up in the batch to paint
and takes a few weeks to turn things round as they do things on a week to week basis one week bars ,then frames and so on
if your job comes in on a different cycle its have to wait had one in 10 days before.
