I had a bike fit and frame design by Form in Wandsworth. It was incredibly reasonably priced and Ronan the guy who runs it is such a nice guy. I then sent that across to Waltly with a number of requests i.e tyre clearances, guard mounts, axle standards, cable preference, bb standard etc. We went back and forth for a couple of weeks until I was happy with their final drawing.
The contact at Waltly I dealt with was called Amy and she was excellent, super responsive and very good eye for detail.
An amazing thread, kudos to you for documenting so thoroughly, also glad to see absolutely zero buyers remorse!
Quick question about the initial frame design, did you have a bike fit, use that geo, then basically take the general profile from another frame(s) and adapt to suit your fit? Did you then just need to specify tyre clearances? Happy to DM to save clogging up the thread.
