Routens had a light and delicate touch with his metal work,, and great style. The front rack is artful and elegant, the delicateness of the "hellinic" seat stays has never been done better imo. The buttressed bb detail, proprietary front derailleur and fork crown all took a lot of time to do. This bike is indeed special!

I've been a fan of Routen's rear "brake bridge" and have incorporated that detail on several bikes now out of respect for his work. http://www.flickr.com/photos/49353569@N00/799176236/

Alex, thank you for your site and allowing us the views of these fine bicycles.
