It can all be reduced to this:
OTP frames are made to fit slices of the average market.
Custom frames are made to fit individuals.
That's it.
No more, no less.
Question (and I'm being serious): are there any frame builders who will build you a frame to your EXACT specifications, based on your size? All the frame builders I've seen build frames using standardised tube lengths (i.e. 24" 24.5" etc). Is it actually possible to have a frame built using, say, Reynolds 631 tubing with a seat tube of 25.1" ?
