Hmmm...interesting one. My dad has a saying. It's "do you want to be my friend or my customer?". He has a shop that's conducive to guys coming in, hanging out, and expecting that my dad will shoot the breeze with him about his 1952 Studebaker. Hey, my dad loves Studebakers, but early-on in the business he thought he had to spend lots of time with these guys thinking/hoping it would lead to more business from them. All it really got him were late nights making up for the lost time. So that's when he started using that saying in his own way; a way that few can get away with. Said properly, most people hear "I've got work to do. Let's chat over a beer later." and they get it. That's why I like the internet. I can answer when I have a few spare moments during my 4:00 lunch.
Back to the point (the theme of the day for me). Sure, there are bikes I really look forward to building and customers I really look forward to working with. Maybe it's his passion. Maybe it's her excitement. And maybe sometimes it's because he sent me 4 position numbers, said "go to town and paint it white pearl", and then I don't hear from him again until I call to say it's done. It all depends on what's going on that day or week.
All right, all right. You broke me down. Who would I love to build a frame for? Well...

I think she could use a nice bike to train on for her tennis career.
