Any recommendations for a custom bicycle builder in Illinois?

[Lobo Tommy]

Need recommendations of a high end custom bicycle builder in
Illinois that also specializes in Single Speed bicycles.

Thanks!

If you're of average proportions but just concerned about
your weight being a factor, you don't need a full-on
custom bike.

Customise one of these bombproof babies.

Most people don't buy custom bikes until they know what they
need and can't get it off the peg.

Not only that, i know a very successful classic bike
collector (www.velo-retro.com) and his most recent bike was
a 2001 waterford fixed-gear. so waterfords are instant
classics, imho.

Troy Courtney in Geneva. (630)232-8720

Troy does gorgeous work but last time I talked to him he was
just beginning teaching in St. Charles, so his frame
building time may be limited.
