Framebuilders come and go awfully fast - I have lost count of the folks who have put up a shingle and then gone out of business within a year or two (mostly they're pretty good at building bikes but
bad at doing math/running a business - though of course some are bad at building bikes as well). After *almost* a decade of this I think I'm pretty much a lifer unless everyone decides they hate 29ers, or custom bikes, or me (maybe I should start showering more often...)

Anyway, a custom bike with a great warranty isn't of much use if the company doesn't exist anymore. So if you're not sure about my commitment, here's something to assuage your concern - 1000 pounds of frame boxes (that's 220 frames worth).
And yes, if anyone is wondering, getting a half ton of cardboard into your attic when the "stairs" are really a rickety pull-down ladder and the entry is about the same size as the boxes themselves is not very fun. Thank god for Car Talk, I would have gone insane this morning moving them up there.

Everyone knows I am much more buttery than Dicky.
My crust is also flakier and more delicious.
the structural nerd in me gets anxious when I see you loading 1000lbs of cardboard into your attic. Split your stack into two spots so I will sleep better. i know, i'm a selfish bastard.
Way ahead of you on that one. I made 3 piles.
