sorry for the shameless self-promo..
but - considering the amount of attention the bike gets when I lock it up, It was well worth putting the logo on it.

Dexter: I love the seattube/top tube/seat stay junction, it's great. The stem looks a bit out of place, but otherwise it's hot.

Yep I can turn that wheel, massive massive massive toe overlap, biggest ive seen,so far but subconsciously u get used to turning without severe bashing.
Chain tensioners arent really neccesary, since the axle is all the way in on the drop outs, but it saves my frame from being scratched from the axle bolts.
I think I am achieving the criteria set out on https://oldskooltrack.com/files/what.is.frame.html
anyway a matter of opinion.
I discovered the top seatube lug is common for english style framebuilding and tommy was a birmingham builder.
got the leather top tube protector on ebay, if anyone is interested https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...6130&rd=1&rd=1
heres another photo, previously with straight forks drilled for a brake.

i've seen lots of bike cops in various places in the us, and i don't think they're trained to do that. seems to me that cop bikes are more for carrying a bunch of gear and having an officer seem both mobile and approachable/feet-on-the-ground, rather than for chasing people on bike.
