I was wondering if someone would say something about definition of
"similar." By similar I mean that you are still building pinned
lugged steel frames like you have in the past. You like many
modern builders that have been building for 20+ years have added more
modern touches but only ones that you belive actually improve the end
result. I think you say it best on your website, "I don't choose the
latest angles for this season's riding position. And I don't change
my material choice, tube shape, or joining process with each new
model year. .(SNIP) . . I do things the "old" way."
