Until I dig up that thread he is an example.

This is my 78 Raleigh Professional's seat cluster. It's a nice hand built frame made with high quality materials but it's not meticulous. You can see rough spots and file marks here and there and a blob of brass in some spots.


Here is my old Mike Melton frame. The frame is mostly the same materials as my Raleigh Professional but the craftsmanship is much better. The lugs are filed nice and thin and the lugs shorelines are nice and tidy. I think the ears for the seat post bolt are much prettier too.
