I'm definitely with you on the issue of copyright infringement, Scott. But whether or not this is such a case, an individual gets to take some gringo dollar. People get up in arms when they hear of brand name products being made in sweatships by folk who get paid next to nothing to work in dreadful conditions for absurd lengths of time. Custom mad trick frames from Peru seems more like a case of fair trade coffee = direct from the grower. Idle speculaion aside, the guy has never built road frames before, so is hardly likely to have researched their geometry - he's working some specified dimensions, likely unaware (as we are, taking Fat Pants' word) whether those dimensions correspond to someone else's hard graft, time and copyright.
