Chris,

That is indeed a gorgeous frame. Those lugs and the dropout treatment...incredible! If you searched the internet for information on Greg Diamond, you may have stumbled on my thread on bikeforums.net. Not much information there, but some speculation about Greg and his work. I, too, plan to build the frame up with DA 7400, and I'm almost there. I have no idea how the frame rides, but I expect excellence. Unfortunately, my frame has a twisted derailleur hanger tab and some damage from a dropped chain and misaligned wheel, but it's beautiful nonetheless. I'll second your opinion on the finish work: it's superb. The mitering of the tubes at the BB is a case in point.

Here are some pics of mine:
