Thanks, gomango! I've been lurking way too long. Yes, those Sportifs are lovely bikes. I suspect he would turn me down because I'd like a polished, stainless rear triangle, lugs and dropouts. Perhaps, a little further afield, Wyganowski would do it. I've admired Kvale's work since the late '70s, his lugwork reminds me of Eisentraut's frames.
