2021 Tsunami frame after only...eight months wait
So, it's a new build that I'm enjoying. I have it set up with 48x17 or 48x18. It came out at a hair beneath 19 lbs.

These frames are nicely finished. Note the smooth weld transitions at the head tube and seat cluster. I used carbon bars, stem and seatpost.

These are decent frames, and they come with the headset, seatpost clamp, and loose star nut.

Rinsei-san is certainly an artist in all meaningful ways when it comes to making a frame.
