is that square tubing?

Yes.

Yes it is, ground up are known for using square tubing.
Also that post has to be a scam.

It's not unusual I think, my cheap hybrid has similar tubing on the chainstay.

But I wouldn't take that bike even if the seller paid me 2000 dollars.

The tt pad KILLS everything that bike had going for it...

Dude is an excellent builder.

Why not just buy a Giant if you're going to copy the geometry?

Could be he like the geo, but wanted a custom hand made steel bike instead of the aluminum?

Absolutely. Just that tt protector swings it from Mad Max to complete tarck :(

you sir are a poor businessman

The guy is the real deal.

A real welder yes, a bike builder?, not too sure.

What is with the holes right above the track ends? Is that safe?

yeah, his shiz is whack.

Builds custom tandems for Da Vinci, plus close to 200 bikes out of his own shop. I would consider that a "real" builder.

Believe those are his CNC machined track ends. Look fine to me.
