I always thought oversized tubing was just for aluminium bikes like keevhon
but then when I went steel frame shopping I noticed so many of them had crazy
shaped tubing. Personally, I really like the looks of a classic steel road frame.
Now I'm by no means retro especially compared to AL5 and his penchant for
Vanilla bikes & shellac. I prefer the aesthetic of TIG to lugs and carbon
weave looks cool.
Anyways, the crazy shaped downtube of Karstens(sp) was the reason
I didn't even think about Thylacine as a builder, until he showed me
picks of the "classic" road frames he builds.
