That looks very nice, I really like the look when the edge of the lug itself is outlined rather than a definite line on the tube around the lug. It's more elegant and subtle. Nice!

THAT is THE most DIFFICULT pin striping I have ever done!
But it sure looks cool!

It's very difficult to stripe with a clear liquid (sizing) on a white frame, but overall it worked out fine.

Almost anything is more difficult on a white frame, because every tiny mistake shows more blatantly. With gold-leaf, you have taken this challenge to a whole other level.
