Ha . . true i did come on strong, but thats because i have actually checked out the frames,rather than rating them on the hackney hipstometer like you have, and whilst not by any means being a frame builder i do know a thing or two about quality workmanship given that my real life job is project managing large scale engineering projects with a sideline in building custom motorcycles, where bad welds cost you your life, not just your skinny black jeans . . . from what i saw these do have a lot of quality to them. I very much doubt that unless you have significant metalworking experience that the majority of people here can actually tell if something is good enough aside from commenting on how pretty a weld is.
The main reason i was so excited is that its not every day that you bump into someone 100m from your doorstep who will build you a custom frame to your specs for 600 quid, the guy was happy to chat about all the could do, and he explained that they can do any paint job/graphics you want on them . . that and the fact that nice bikes still have the ability to turn a 30 year old into a dribbling teenager again . . and if thats a sin i'm going straight to hell.
