These are some photos taken at the builder's facility before the frames were painted. The goldish color you
can see on the edges of the lugs and bottom bracket, and joining of the drop outs to the stays is the brass
brazing material used to bond the pieces together. The attention to design is apparent- everything is
clean, no gaps, no blotches of brazing material. In addition, one thing that is hard to see in the photos- the
mitering of the tubes is exceptional. This is important for producing a strong joint. This mitering is done via
cutting tools, not punches as is often done in high volume factories. Another small detail that adds to the
integrity and ride quality of the frame.
