Pricing
It is hard to list a price here. The cost of silver or frame tubing is going to alter, so I will list the current labor charges. A deposit puts you in a position of securing a shipping date.

If you send me a CAD drawing (you can design from my web page) that is compatible with my CAD program then you can deduct $75 from the build cost. If you have a specific geometry and send it to me, then deduct $65 from the labor cost. This would be the cost of being fitted to the frame and then designing. That is the reason for the NC line.

If you are another frame building company and contracting my work and do not want to pay for the paint: Deduct $200 from the frame labor and $20 for the fork.

Paint:
I use self-etching primer, Imron base and Clear over the decals. This is included with the base labor cost.

Now available! Powder Coating at no additional cost! There is no clear over the decals.

Custom Road; Off-Road Hard-tails; Trials; Cross etc; using any tubing other than the S-3 or Reynolds 953:
Base Labor: $875. This labor does not include the cost of brake mounts.

If you wished to have rear rack mounts, and additional $15 is to be included.

Custom True Temper S-3:
The extra time to work with this metal warrants $200 more than the standard build. Labor Cost: $1075.

Custom Tandem Labor:
Base labor with one cross member: $1750

Custom Suspension Frames:
Base Labor: 4-bar Linkage: Base labor: $1600
Base Labor: Mon-Strut: Base Labor: $1100
