Bauer has been typically 4-6 weeks depending on the time of season, but I haven't worked with their customs in a while. Yes, the stiffness is comparable to the top-line Supreme skate. And yes, I believe your information is held on file, as well, all custom skates will have a number stamped on the inside to reference the build for future use. But, I do recommend re-tracing and re-measuring your foot each time you order, just to verify past numbers and ensure nothing has changed.
