marty from geekhouse is a great guy. he offered up a custom built frame (to be custom built for the person) to the first out of towner at my friend's 'departed'-themed race. he's knows his shit about frame building and has been at it for a while. he used to race downhill and started geekhouse building mountain bike and downhill frames but has since branched out to pursuit-style frames. he can put together other types of frames but i don't think he's in the custom-making business right now. he eventually wants the above model to be a 'production' bike, but i'm not sure if he reached that level just yet - the last time we talked (in august) he was still working on getting a bigger workspace i believe.
the frame is for two 700c wheels but is relatively lax for a pursuit bike. the headtube angle and fork don't cause toe overlap (atleast not when i was riding around on that bike). he sold the bike (with the parts on it) on e-bay over the summer to put more money into his business (though i would have kept that sweet bike).
he did a lot of his work with the help of the guys at A.N.T. (http://www.antbikemike.com/) who make really interesting and classic looking bikes - some of the stuff they displayed at their showcase over the summer looked amazing.
