I assume one of the more difficult things for the NFE is getting the fork right (strong yet responsive tubes, position of caliper, large bend etc.). A low-trail straight fork (e.g. https://flic.kr/p/pQBRBP) shouldn't be that hard to put together, all you need to do then is work out your frame angles/tube lengths, find $$$ and let the framebuilder work their magic...

...and tubing dia, grade, thickness and butting. Tweek the geo to fit a tiny man, translate all this into Polish and hope it all just happens to work first time.

What's the worst that can happen?

A quick glance at the Orlowski/Rytcharski builds that have popped up recently all seem to be pretty positive. I know "work out your frame angles/tube lengths" is over-simplistic but it's not outrageous to think you could spec a low-trail rando bike for either to produce.
