I want a custom FBM sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly. I just want one with a downtube gusset to give more room for front wheel tricks and possibly a sliiiightly lower top tube. I just hope that they can accomodate me. Most like getting it done after fight with flight because my quamen is such shoddy design work.
