He's a nice guy who is really excited to build exceptional bikes

I gave him freedom to build the racks using his own design. They turned out fricken amazing. The front lowriders are removable and he designed the front rack to hold the handlebar bag, keeping the cockpit free. I might add secondary brake levers now
@thegoldenboy See where the pump will be behind the seat post?

The bike is made of a mix of tubing, 3 types TT and one Columbus. Beyond that, it is a secret!
Every time I look at this, I see something new- the pump peg- glorious! There's all that real estate behind the seat tube that so few touring bikes use. The custom, fillet brazed stem- Wow... What bars are those? I love the Nitto B132, but I think even the widest one I've found is still a bit too narrow for Command Shifters and a front bag. The 46 Noodles are nice, bit I like the splay at the brake levers.

This is a really, really spectacular bike!
