They've been doing it for a while, but ride usa have an article up about Standard being able to do custom frames. It's definitely something I'd be keen to do, much like getting a bespoke suit made or something. Everyone's different after all.
What geo would you guys go for?
I'm thinking:
21.7 tt
14" Chainstay
73 degree Headtube (yes, slacker please!)
11.5 BB Height
5mm dropouts
Internal headset, Mid BB
Brake lugs on top of seatstays
Basically trails-oriented and built for a tall person.
Also, how about this for an absurd deal? I would've bought that and combined it with an XXL Deluxe frame if I hadn't just bought an XC bike...

'Normal' is still far too twitchy for my liking. The Macneil Bibi has a 73.5 head angle.
