I just picked a frame copy of a specialized fsr pro (identified by the rear triangle) and I really love how the bike rides. Pretty sure its from 99 or 2000? I picked it up used and I'm a beginner but the bike is feeling more and more natural the more miles I put on it.
Which brings me to my question. Are custom frame bikes more expensive or is it just harder to find a welder for the frame?
Apparently this frame was built by the path bike shop in orange county.
Is there anything I should be wary of since it is a custom frame?
Are there any advantages into looking at a custom frame as opposed to one of the many reputable brands out there.
I figure one disadvantage would be warranty.
Just curious and trying to learn more about my new bike. I haven't seen too many custom frames though so it made me wonder.
