Help me to understand. Did a frame builder have a bunch of extra tubing from various manufacturers lying around? Is this the most OCD-specified custom bike ever? Is it really a supernice bike and I'm distracted by specificity? All of the above?
I want to see it with different tubing stickers plastered all over the appropriate bits.
