at the risk of an attaboy, I have to point out some of my most valued bikes are filet-brazed, including a 1950s Gillot L'Atlantique, a 1950s Herse tandem, and the 1981 Jack Taylor tandem we ride all the time. Those aren't KOF frames. Those are the real deal.
The Gillot and the Herse in particular are incredible pieces of work. The Herse especially was beautifully done, made of thin, oversized tubing, and quite light-weight. It's in repaint right now. I can't wait to ride it!

that's the puzzle of what has happened to the automobile world: feeling safe has become more important than actually being safe.
