I just got back from riding this bike, my first time with fenders in decades. As you would expect, the lug work and other detailing is exquisite. I believe the lugs are Bocama, but tastefully reworked and lengthed (with windows), spoon seat stay caps, lovely work at the fork ends. It rides very nicely, but 54 cm just is a bit small for me (I usually ride about 58 cm).

Interesting trades would be considered.
