I was looking at the 953 myself.
They seem to be a manufacture first and foremost. Selling through distributors, of which there are none in the UK. I read a great review of the 953, and accorrding to a old thread on another forum, custom geometry is a very cheap addition (I'd need it, looking at whats availible) the number given on the forum, was an extra $130 for custom geometry (old post might be way off now). There is a orderform on the 'downloads' section of the site.
If you look around, 953 framesets are incredibly expensive. But with a pretty amazing stiffness to weight. It can potientially make a fantastic frame.
I love the orange Xochitl with the rose pattern in exposed polished steel. stunning.

If I can save some money in the run up to Xmas, I'm tempted to contact them for a quote for the above frame with a colour matched Easton EC90SL fork.
(PS: The Ti frames on there have the new style tapered head tubes, which I have'nt seen on other Ti frames.)
