Also, I think Winston is currently mending a Crust with a snapped DT.
One thing that makes him so knowledgeable is that he's the guy who fixes everyone else's mistakes, so he knows not to make them himself.

I like that about him, he's not a cycling geek, he's an engineering geek. I've had meetings with other frame builders over the years, and they've all been keen cyclists, who seemed to come at frame building a different way. It was nice to talk to him about non cycling stuff whilst we got the engineering bit right.
My brain will chill out once we've confirmed the numbers and I've paid my deposit, at least I hope so, I drive a wagon for money, and an over tired, over excited driver in charge of a 44 tonne battering ram is nowhere near ideal.

Ha, I too dream of having a Riv or a Crust, then once you've taken into account shipping and import costs, cheaper to go UK custom built, and also means you get to use the skills of one of our many metal glueing craftspersons.
Edit: and of course the hipster tax that's associated with Riv/Crust et al.
