*insert missing seatstays quip here*

there must be a way to clear powder coat that as it is.

damn. damn. damn damn damn.

sweet. lugs remind me of the schwinn paramounts.

is there an extension on your headtube? the top of the lug looks to be pretty high above the top tube.

seconded. look the same as the ones on mine. what are they?

Sachs newvex?

nice. curious: how long did it take to get to that stage?

yeah, they're newvex lugs. that's just how the headtube lug is. it's slightly higher than your traditional lug (and will make riding an attractive deep-drop stem a bit more comfy).

as far as schedule, it's been about 5 weeks since we did the initial measurements and specs. johnny said he's little ahead of schedule right now.

the frame and fork will be completed in the next week or so, then some refining touches to the lugs such, then it's off to the painter.
