In general (if you were to get a custom frame):
- Geometry (how the fit data is translated into the design, to achieve desired handling charateristics).
- tubing selection, taking into consideration rider weight and desired comfort level
- aesthetics (proportions, paint, flourishes etc...)
Of course if you buy a bike made for someone else the first 2 points might be moot.

Lolo-
Well, that kind of matches what I thought. It's a very nice bike for sure, but I can't quite see that alone making up for the price.

This is all marketing waffle. Every Baum Ristretto in every size uses the exact same tubing - just more or less of it.

Yeah but why. What makes it 'another league' apart from people just believing it. I still haven't heard an actual thing that sets this apart to the extent of costing twice as much as a frame alone compared to really good 'normal' bikes...
