This is such a good discussion, because it points out that Grant P. is looking out for his customers. If someone asked me, which builder would you rather have -- Waterford or Toyo? -- I'd say, sure. It's nice that Waterford is U.S.-based, but I look at it as supporting Rivendell first, and I'll let Grant decide which builders to patron.
I was skeptical of Maxway when Grant contracted them for the Bleriot, but once I got my frameset I found it was as nicely built as my Rambouillet and Atlantis in the areas that matter. Maybe not as nicely painted, but it was much less expensive. I used the savings to help offset the cost of couplers and a repaint to a different color. I'm now a fan, generally, of Maxway for less-expensive bikes. I believe my Rawland dSogn was built there and it's just great.
