Anyone know of a custom United States based bicycle frame builder that uses Reynolds 853 steel?

I found rourke in the U.K., but that's about it

There are plenty of builders out there that will build with whatever tubing you want, as long as it doesn't conflict with the application. I suggest Kevin settle on a number of builders first, then ask if they would be willing to use 853 for the build-most builders don't specifically advertise using a specific brand/make of tubing because as you said, they usually decide on which tube is appropriate for which location on the frame.
