I wouldn't let the Swiss threading scare you: the BB is easily solved with a one-time purchase of a Phil Wood BB with Swiss rings (that should last a lifetime) and the fork is just French, not that hard to find a HS and really you only need the top cup and locknut to be FR, all the rest can be ISO. If I didn't already
have an Allegro, I'd be tempted (again) to get this one...oh, and the money and space issues
