Ordering
After we have discussed your frame and agreed on the details I ask that you pay a non-refundable $500 deposit to hold your place in line.
Once I am ready to begin your frame I’ll contact you and confirm final plans. At that point an additional $750 will be due before I begin work on your frame.
Some tubesets may require a larger deposit due to the cost of the materials, but I will go over all this with you.Once the frame is complete and painted the balance will be due before shipping.
Please contact me if you have any questions on pricing and I'll be happy to discuss.
You can send the deposits by check or pay securely by credit card using PayPal:
