Frame builder, yep, of course that'll be fine, 90% cash up front, can you collect it next Monday.
Six months later, "sorry, the paint won't bond with the stainless head tube, the bike needs to be rebuilt. I'll do it at my own cost asap."
12 months later "frame was in the post last week"
18 months later an email from the courier company "we will be collecting your frame from nob jacksoff next week and deliver it on the bank holiday monday"
customer cancels bank holiday plans, waits in all day an nothing arrives. next day calls courier pretending to be frame builder to discover the courier went to collect the frame but no one was in...
