The least they could have done was not violate one of the principle rules of C&V in making a lugged steel frameset that's aspiring to be a fairly hardcore replica. Sheesh.

I'm not justifying it or drinking the kool-aid, just saying they tried to gloss over it, I wholeheartedly agree with you and like I said am glad my link didn't work since I may have momentarily lost my mind when they launched.

Same BS goes for the dropouts that are slab steak thick ugly to conform to "safety standards" since all before and since have maimed and killed so many.

There certainly is too much wrong here but at least they tried, more than you can say for many of the rest.

Guess I'm just sentimental, or just mental at least.
