These DW's with the curved seat tubes are giving me monster wood... between Judah and Eddie's bikes, I may never need a cockring again.

Don makes some seriously amazing bikes, and I would ride
one in a heartbeat, but I am always slightly disappointed by
the big, bland "DON WALKER" logo on the downtube. Seems
like, with a bike so nice, he could some up with a classier
logo.

is there any discussion of the logo during the design process?

I'm fine, a little emotionally hurt, but physically fine. Now its the quest to build another equally nice bicycle.

I almost had it for a year, but it's cool. I managed to salvage the rear hub, fork, headset, seatpost, stem, and saddle.
It just gives me a reason to use that bronze campy crank now.

My Anchor "Buttercup." She's not perfect but I'm absolutely smitten with her. Try if you can (I know it will be hard) to ignore the old pedals with plastic cages. I plan to replace those. I'm also thinking of swapping out the drops with bullhorns while I learn to skid. By the end of the week, she'll have a shiny new Fi'zi:k Vitesse saddle. No other modifications planned for now. Oh, except to take the decals off the rear wheel (front is already done)...
Stats:
Nitto 123AA 39cm bars, Nitto Jaguar Pro stem-80mm, Strong-G 2.0mm grips
Dura-ace njs headset
Bridgestone Anchor njs frame, fillet brazed, 4130 steel, 51cm
Dura-ace 46t njs ring, Sugino 75s-170mm
Old Shimano pedals with plastic Christophe cages and EAI straps
Sugino Grand Mighty 27.0mm njs seatpost, Kashimax FiveGold saddle
Suntour Superbe Pro hubs 32h laced radially front/2x rear to Velocity Fusion non-machined rims
Surly 19t cog, IZUMI Model-V Super Toughness njs chain
Conti tires, I forget..

thanks. The I've ordered Simitra gold risers and adjusted the seat [again] since then... it's now level [the reasons for the steep angle are kinda funny but probably innappropriate for this forum]. And there's a matching front tire now.

They can play with the CNC machine all day. Different cut outs does not make it a different hub.
