Subject: [CR]The Bill Philbrook frame pics are finally up.
Man can I do lazy. . . Jeff Lyon sent me this frame to bring down to VR
2002 but it arrived on the Monday after. I've kept meaning to make a
picture page of it and now it's finally here.

The pictures do absolutely no justice to the quality of the build and
workmanship on this frame. This is in my top 5 highest quality frames
I've ever seen, and is the number 1 "bronze welded" frame I've ever
seen. Something to note is that he has the gussets built into the fork
and seat cluster which is a technique I think Hilary mentioned
recently. For me the most special part on the frame is the rear
dropouts which are hand made from plate steel and then bronze washers
are brazed onto them, very beautiful and very clean. If you want to
know about Bill Philbrook check out these two old posts from the list.
