For those who have seen these lugs in un-massaged shape, you will know just how much work Daniele has done to make them look like they do now. This is not a case where the commonly-misused comment: "nicely filed lugs" would be out of place. This not like most frame using investment cast lugs that require no filing whatsoever (Can you understand that it is a pet peeve of mine that people say that frames that have no filing whatosever are well-filed?)
It should also be pointed out that the full Columbus MAX tubing set is also quite difficult to find nowadays. The drilled rear dropouts were an addition that Daniele decided on, the pump was sought out and found by my friend in Milan, Stefano, who coordinated everything. We had tried to give the frame the model name: "Max Headroom" but ran out of time before Aaron was supposed to pick up the frame. From start to finish, from receipt of the measurements and tubing, lug and fork crown choice to delivery, the frame took less than 2 months. Not bad when you consider that the chroming and painting had to be done by two third party suppliers.
Just to give you a bit more details about Daniele and his father. Daniele's father was the last personal team mechanic to Gino Bartali and the Legnano pro team. Daniele himself spent years as a team mechanic for a variety of pro and amateur teams before settling down in Milan as a mechanic and framebuilder. He has over 30 years of experience in framebuilding.
