It's disappointing. But lee is a good guy and a good frame builder. I think there is a bit of a problem in the communication process and i wonder if when Lee is back you go to see him with the frame and the wheel and say. "see, this won't work and its not what i ordered..." Let him and john deal with who pays for it, but it won't be you.
tbf Lee did not make Todd or Josh's bikes, so its a different matter. I'm sure John is trying to be helpful when he says do it in bike CAD. Because i dont think he uses it, but maybe its how Cam got what he wanted and he figured it would be a good way of sorting out your problem. Yes you asked for a custom frame and you asked for a specific that was not met, but i think that saying someone is bad builder because of a mistake isn't quite right.
What we as polo players ask for in custom design is much more than most people go for. Jono you said yourself that an Oak is an entirely different price depending on angles, cables, trail, tubes etc. Its no different with 14, the problem is that John is in London and Lee is in coventry.
