No endorsement here, but I like the degree to which he dives into his own experiences and the nitty gritty about tubes, etc.

Im guessing that he means its common knowledge these days that a thinner bigger tube gives you a stiffer frame.
I like reading about this stuff tho even if its something i allrdy know.

I was more interested in all the write ups about other contributors attempts to design and have their customs built. As you mostly don't get to see those detailed CAD drawings with tubing specs when our great American builders put together a frame. And the stories good and not so good related to Eastern ti builders.
