i wouldn't want an unpainted frame to get shipped by container across the Pacific. I'm sure TW framebuilding shops have in-house paint facilities or at least ez access to cheap paint.

For me, 1 color, no logos or headbadges of any sort.

And if it's gonna be welded, I'd say go with a higher end steel. There's too much generic cromo floating around now. The price difference will be small enough to live with.

Still want lugged, though. Unicrown? Please.
