I'd like to see some non-drive shots of the BB cluster, it looks pretty thick, I assume the tubes get pretty wide as they approach the BB. But yeah, any nice photos will do, that paint job is nuts.

I worked with Koichi for about two years when he came to the US with his American wife in the late 80's. I was the manager of Proteus College Park MD from 82-93. Koichi was something to behold. To watch him with a file or torch in his hands was very special indeed. Sadly, the marketing and demand for Proteus frames meant his skills were underutilized, and he and Barbara decided to move to Co. for greener pastures. It was gratifying to see him selected to produce the US national team bikes for the Olympics.
You have a very special frame to these well trained eyes!
