I got a custom Waterford last year, the 2200 model spec'd as a fixed gear road bike with a front brake. Reynolds 853 tubing and polished stainless steel Henry James lugs and fork crown, painted black with silver outline decals. Campagnolo Record track group with Ibis Ti stem, Ti Campagnolo seat post and Ti Brooks Swift saddle. 48 x 16 (80 inch).

The ride is as good as anything I own and it's what I ride probably 80% of the time now. It gets lots of compliments and two people have ordered identical bikes after seeing mine. Basically it's a recreation of a classic English Road/Track bike, what used to be known as a Path Racer.
