That's a very very attractive bicycle cycle.

Casting is an interesting choice for lug production, especially since I can't imagine they're making a whole lot of those bikes. The tooling cost and PITA factor is way way up there. Maybe they deal with casting houses that do better work than the ones I deal with though

My current favorite bleeding-edge Ti builder is probably Sturdy though...although he seems to use round tubes.

Custom 3D printed lugs, stems, seatposts, cranks, and forks too!
