The design is tighter and more aggressive than traditional track geo's, but still quite comfortable for fast street riding. As much at home bombing through traffic as it will be tearing up Kissena.
Working with lugs does limit what one can do with the frame design somewhat, but i was able to carve the cast's into the angles i wanted, without too much trouble.
I have yet to build a Fillet brazed frame, although on each of my lugged frames, I did fillet braze the bridges, and this time around, the seat tube cluster. Getting much more comfortable doing this and am definitely ready to do an entire frame this way This braze integrated the two lugs i made for the seatstays. Once painted, the idea is that they will be seamless and appear to be part of the rest of the cast.
This time around i opted to try liquid paint, as my finish work is finally getting nice enough to warrant a display of detail as the wet paint will reveal. Getting it back early next week, so we shall see.
How much for a frame think that ??
