This is a very nice frame, if you like the style. I have a couple of beefs with it though. The lugs are too thick. I know they're stainless, and so very hard to work...but it would have been nice if they could have been thinned or contoured a little.
The other problem: the paint goes all the way up the sides of the lugs. I know this is the usual way to do it, but it looks crummy. Much better to stop the paint at the lug/tube joint, and leave the sides of the lugs unpainted (chrome, or the color the lug is painted..). The look is very sweet. Baylis does it this way, and I think Bruce Gordon may have started doing it too, I can't recall now. Peter Weigle may do it the better way too. Do you paint that way, Peter?
That paint detail makes the frame look cheap, imho.
