I have often been surprised at reports of people getting frames made by UK builders who do not do any kind of fitting. Frequently it appears the builder just asks if you are happy on your current bike and then makes a frame to give similar position, meeting the clients whims re little aesthetic details.
Just because someone can weld beautifully does not mean they have much knowledge of fitting. They may know how to spec geometry for handling but often the understanding of how a bike will affect the rider seems lacking.
