Now just came across Burls, never heard of them.

What are they like anyone?

Excellent, built me a Ti winter bike 5 years ago now, worth every penny, and cheaper than many off the peg frames.

Justin's very easy to deal with, and quick with communication, also being custom you can have pretty much whatever you wish.

Cool great to know, Justin has already replied once, just sent my measurements with lots more questions. Weird as have never looked at the custom market before, so no completely sure what to ask and what to put on it. But pretty exciting so far.

I think the OP mentioned wanting something light...

After getting so much help I thought I would say thanks and post some pictures now that its finished....and bang on time, it was zero degrees today.

I have really loved the process, decided on the builder, the spec, the geometry, the parts...etc etc etc. Its been a brilliant experience.

And now its done. Its come out better than my wildest dream.

The highlights.....
Burls Ti Frame
Tracer fork
Chris King headset
Ultegra di2 (mostly)
Rotor SRM
Ambrosio Nemesis
SKS mudguards
Thomson stem and seat tube
Bang on 9kg, so not light, but it wasn't supposed to be. More due to the components than the frameset.

Took a little while getting it ready. Seat post keeps on slipping. But its getting there.

Its just stunning to look at, but riding it is really great too. The weight of the bike is taking a while to get used to.
