I attended a lecture by Carl Sagan in the late 70s or early 80s...he spent a good 15 minutes riffing on how immensely huge the number "one billion" is. I realize Serotta has a lot of finish options but Imma call BS on this claim.

There was some interesting discussion on frame tolerances in one (several?) of the Smoked Out threads across the hall, and from the numbers being tossed about there I got the impression that A) there are a handful of well-respected builders who can and do match the straightness and precision of any company anywhere; and B) at some point it raises the question "how precise does a frame need to be?" Will a frame that's built to tolerances of 0.0001" be in any demonstrable and perceptible way inferior to one that's built to tolerances of 0.00001" ?
