Ha ha!
Yeah, Matthew and Billy are like a pair of bike generating wizards atm.
But I am (literally) a painter for work so I find it difficult not to get carried away with this stuff.

Sure - I totally get that too. I’m also a painter by trade. When I had my Talbot made back in 2014 I had the same problem, so got Matt to just supply the frame unpainted, and took care of the paint myself, as was conscious of being ‘that’ annoying customer!
My comment was more aimed at the frame building side of things.... You’ve obviously gone to Saffron cos you like the style they’re known for.
At the end of the day tho, the whole point of getting a custom frame is it’s exactly what you want, not what other people think you should get, so my opinion is pretty irrelevant!.... I just know from experience that the more involved a customer gets with the fine details, the more stressful for both builder and customer the whole process can become!

FWIW, I think you are trying to involve yourself in the design of this bike way too much. Mathew and Billy are both very good at their jobs. Give them some rough parameters and let them get on with it - you will get a much better end product.
