The Hackney Pedlar also build up vintage frames with new components - I think they more or less have an off the shelf build kit ready to go.
I know what you mean about the Temple stuff. Matt (who runs it) is a friend of a friend. We've not crossed paths in a while, but he does know his bikes, they're well finished, and I actually think they start to look reasonable value vs Tokyobike etc. I'm just super not into the whole new-bike-masquerading-as-old-bike thing.
