I haven't talked to Peter but from following him online I have to say I love the willingness, maybe even interest, maybe even passion to fully involve customers in the design process - whether it be geometry, paint or design details.
Walt @ Waltworks told me (paraphrasing) that he doesn't like building bikes that already exist - why not just buy the stock bike if you can buy what you want? That attitude definitely means more work (never making the same thing twice) but it also means building some really cool stuff like slack 29+ and Fat full suspension bikes.
I hope that as the Daam reputation builds Peter gets challenged to build his own take on bikes like the BMW high pivot DH bikes or BTR Belters. We need more crazy one offs.
