Don't know the brand, but it looks really nice. I'm a sucker for anything with a Concor. Is it just my eyes, or is your front q/r not closed tight?

The best ones are super nice - I'm still kicking myself for not bidding higher on a white one from the early 70's on ebay a couple of years or so ago. Mark Di Nucci brazed and filed many of them - dude had mad filing skills.

Having wheels makes the bike faster and smooths out the ride.

Met Andy at the Portland Handbuilt show. He was selling tools for custom frames, not his frames, although he did have an example.

I'm going to say that's one of those aero rears - where the seat stays come out of seat tube as one.
