Maybe that's where they're having difficulties with alignment because a different guy makes those????

Yes, we both have the lugged phantom model. I think his bike's problem was that the geometry was not what he ordered. I think the tig welded ones tend to be straighter and have less problems. I have noticed lately that there are Jaegher frames that pop up on social media but there are no pictures of them actually built up. I always wonder if they were sent back to jaegher to fix what ever problem it had.
Tim, I am glad yours came out well, i have seen pictures of it and it is a great looking bike!
