Long Shen Arrowpoint lugs (so hot)
Yeah, lugs are nice. But this is gonna be TIG'd to lower cost so...
NIce tubes with short butts, tuned for frame size hopefully.
We can do that. I'm thinking of some oddly butted tubes; it costs us zero extra to butt the tubes any way we choose. Like how about a section of the top tube butted THICK where the bars hit: a built-in tube protector.
Short head tube, therefore longer TT than CTT, which allows better standover with a highish BB. Extended head tube for added stiffness / higher bar position?
Great minds think alike, and so do our's!
Flat crown drilled for a brake. Curved fork blades for comfort, and curved all the way to the dropouts for Maximum style. Well, straight blades for max style, but it is RFC, after all.
Room for fenders as well as short chainstays. Curved or crimped chainstays and seatstays are the only solution I can thing of.
I'm thinking that if you want to run fenders, then use 590 (650A) rims. I'll make some fenders to fit this frame. Imagine a super-squirrelly track bike w/ fenders and 590s for rain duty! I'll package fenders and a high offset for together, to eliminate TCO when the fenders are on.
Unpainted ends and fork dropouts.
Nah. Orange power everywhere.
