BTW i love the frameset you built and the tread title is sort of how i felt posting mine after yours.
Thanks! Framebuilding is fun.
For your next bike, you should see if Kirk Pacenti has any NOS Columbus SL sets left... It's only $90 for an 11 tube set, and he even swapped out the pre-raked fork blades for straight ones for me (the stock ones were
really raked...).
Again - great looking work!
