The more I look, the more I like this frame. The geometry and construction is very Bridgestone esque, i.e., RB-T. So the BOBs should be happy.
In general, I very much like this new retroish steel frame trend, including VO, Surly, All City, Black Mountain Cycles, Soma, etc.
I went with the Surly CC and the Black Mountain Road, but could have very easily gone in the direction of any of the above.
I'll be very interested to see how this develops.
