Good shops like that are hard to find these days. By all means go there, tell them what you want and let them hook you up. You'll likely pay more but in the end get more. I would rather pay $1K for a Surly or Soma that they assembled rather than a closeout CF slick "deal" from one of the big box bike shops.

Soma is from a company that has 10 people working for them and yes they're from Nor-Cal

Surly is from a company in the midwest.


Moots has the SWEETEST welds!!!

I'll be droping down here for this
