Default custom one-offs

i read alot of you guys saying its only custom if you did it youre self...so lets see what we have done...
ive made a few things...to start off, i made these gas caps out of solid aluminum using a .015 endmill. its so detailed i wuoldnt do it again. the dot in the a's for example are in fact triangles. i went through alot of endmills but i think it was worth it.
these are one-offs as i deleted the drawing and program after i was finished. im a cnc machinist...i was offered 800 bones for these but turned him down cause i love thje fact that I KNOW no-one else in the world has them but me!
i hope the picture does me justice...
if you have an idea, i can make it reality!
if i can draw it i can machine it!

that bike looks awesome... but what did you ''make''? frame? fenders?
not to take anything away from her, but if you don't specify whats a one-off, something youre hands made, then it could be all catalog purchaces that you assembled...

Just my .02 but to me anyway, a bike that's been modified and personalized I would consider "customized" bike.

Guess it's all in how you look at it,

If it's changed from "stock" what else could it be but "customized"?
