Wow, that is a beaut. Two details that I don't think I've ever seen done quite like that before: the fork crown adornments, and the extra swoop to the rear dropouts where the adjuster screws emerge in back. Folks if you missed it due to the dark paint color, go back and look at images # 4 and 6. Both details are artistic and functional looking.
