I have not had any dealings with them personaly, but I have seen some of thier stuff last year at Daytona Bike Week. I plan to spend a little more time this year checking things out a little closer. For a weld on hardtail you shouldnt have any problems. There is not much too them, and you have to fit it to your frame.
I have dealt with Bitter End Choppers and never had a problem with them. Dont ask them to pack anything fragile or it will probably be in a million pieces before you get it. There also may be a few guys on the board like Mechworks or Tigman that may be interested in making one for you. Not sure if they do weld on hard tails or not.
There was a couple of frames last year hanging around Led Sleds setup at bikeweek but in fairness to them I do not know if they were from Led Sled or the guys near them. Anyways the frames I seen were all tig welded but there was no sign the neck was pre heated or there was good penetration on the joint. Looking inside the neck you couldnt even tell it had been welded.
