That's super interesting, I wonder how much the price is able to come down as things get cheaper. It's a bit rough and ready looking considering what £4.5k would get you from other builders tho!

Indeed, If I was shelling out for custom I think I'd still want the artizan touch...
I guess that unless one of the big manufacturers decided that mass customisation is the way to go, it's never going to come down low enough to compete with a carbon moulding

I guess the other side is that if you did want to go down the 3D printed custom route, you may be able to get things that a traditional frame builder wouldn’t be able to do in terms of something that is wildly custom. Although I don’t imagine that’d cost the same as a classic 2 triangle frame.
