Yes, beautiful bike. The paint is killer. I used to not like a curved top tube, but have acquired a taste--would be interesting to see how he prepares it.

Another good example you may have seen:

I love the Hunters too. But this takes it up a notch with the flared and arched top tube...

Love the look and paint - wonder about the welds... maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in, but they look a little inconsistent/lumpy.

Based on the comments, sounds like the builder is in his early 20's - he has an awesome design/fabrication career ahead of him.

with enough flashy paint on there, no one will notice the poor weld quality...

I guess as long as it is strong and welded "correctly" it doesn't have to be welded "pretty"
