I have a Toyo built Romulus, a Bleriot which I believe was made by Maxway, a Riv custom built by Curt Goodrich, and an Appaloosa which I guess is probably made by Maxway as well. I can't really differentiate the quality of the lugwork and paint between the three factory-built frames, it's fine on all of them, as is the handling. The custom feels the nicest, particularly over indifferent road surfaces, but then the tubing sizes and gauges were chosen to suit a rider of my 63Kg weight, whereas the factory frames have to be built to potentially cope with much heavier riders - when I had the custom built, I also specified that it wouldn't be loaded with anything more than required for day tours, so it didn't have to be built to potentially cope with carrying a heavy touring load.
