That is really amazing. I mean, you KNOW someone has to be capable of doing all the work, but in the interest of economy, specialization makes more sense. Finding an artisan who throws that sense to the wind and creates something so unique is truly amazing. This harkens back to the workshops of the 19th century.

cool story. anybody know the closest framebuilder today who still does a lot of fabrication? bruce gordon comes to mind with his brakes.

Neat story and a beautiful frame.

notice on the photo of the fork crown, the spokes on the front wheel are butted. and the photo of the rear hub, butted spokes there too. amazing detail.

Thank you. That's neat stuff. Dunno, some of the fabrication work done by T.K. is certainly as awesome. Nobody since has or can do this, it's a diff. day now. He should have called that fork Stagger Lee (that's a compliment).

I don't know... a real fabricator wouldn't settle for a stock Stronglight headset.

That's a talented guy with a lot of time on his hands!
