I really dig fillet brazed bikes (a mid-1990s Moser comes to mind). The strange thing is that IMHO the joints don't end up looking a
whole lot different than those on an aluminum Cannondale or even an old Schwinn Varsity or Continental.
This observation means that I probably don't deserve to own a fillet brazed frame - ever.
