Spoke to a taiwanese frame manufacturing company about 6 months ago. Minimum order of 100 units (in EACH size). very difficult to sell 100 units, if I did it would mean every third polo player in the uk would be on one. Not to mention that those third would ALL have to be averagely heighted. blech. Still go cad drawings and models and all the rest.
Had problems with engineering it to pass CEN tests too, without being stupidly heavy. CEN tests are a must if you're not building semi-custom frames else you're leaving yourself open to suings and the like.
