If you buy a frame made by one expert framebuilder you're buying into his reputation and want to identify yourself with the craftsmanship he represents.
N+1 is a terrible name. How are you supposed to identify with a mathematical formula? How are you supposed to say it? is it a maker's name, a model name, or what? It implies mass-produced rationalism, not the emotive qualities of a hand-made product.
Chris Crash is an great name. It's personal, alliterative, mildly humourous, very distinctive, balanced (five letters each) and it refers to a fine tradition of having one guy's name on the frame.
That'll be twenty grand, please.
