I mean never let the client decide, at least in my case, I think is the builder the one in charge on what goes where and making decissions on the bicycle design.
Of course each one can have their own perspective on that matter and I have nothing against builders who feel more confortable being a tool for customers to build their own vision (customer's), this is a free world, but I'm on the opposite side of the mirror, were customer's decission is to choose their favourite builder, not to design the bicycle. They tell me their story and preferences, I build an Amaro for them.
Cheers
