I have an audax bike that Paul built for me last year, 853 tubing with polished stainless lugs, and I have to say it is a fantastic bike in every sense, looks great and rides beautifully. Paul is a true artisan who takes real pride in his work, and will take the time to listen to what you want and build the bike of your dreams. That said if you are in a hurry for this bike best look elsewhere, Paul can be somewhat over optimistic in his delivery dates. However if you are prepared to wait, (in my case over 12 months) as I am sure your research will show you, is something you will have to do with any decent frame builder, you will be rewarded with a fantastic bike.
