Are OTPs approaching custom standards?

I took GA2G as meaning a customised bike and not a custom-made frame, then the bike-couture-mod-squad start wading in... Fahckin' cuntz... ;]
Isn't a custom Mercian frame the same price as an OTP Mercian frame? I believe it is, you just have to wait... I really want one, fully vintage Campag Pista equipped... I can dream... And a custom Keirin frame, 100% NJS... Still dreamin'...
It's only a bike at the end of the day...
Oh, and I neeeeeed a MIB DS NOS Raleigh Lizard...

that's the shit i'm talking about teenslain. Take me back to 92.
