as if to prove your point, one of my friends has recently taken possession of a handmade, custom-fitted bike. He is training for a multi-day 100+ miles per day challenge ride. He had the bike made & fitted in France, where he is from. It was then taken apart and flown here, where he put it together again. Together again it was not so well-fitted because he didn't have the skill to tweak it correctly himself, so his long, long training runs were very difficult and painful. As soon as he had the bike refitted properly it has become the dream-bike it was intended to be.
