Columbus has also introduced a stainless steel tube set, XCr, and a number of framebuilders are beginning to use it as well as 953. Carl Strong, for example, has built both 953 and XCr frames.
I think a pic of your beautiful lugged Waterford built of polished Reynolds 953 and polished "Newvex" stainless lugs would be in order.
I just love seeing pics of that bike.
Btw, a good friend of mine is ordering a Waterford, he's not going with stainless steel tubing, but he will be getting the polished stainless Newvex lugs. He's pretty excited.
