Had this in the pipeline for what feels like forever, though now, this week, it's just going under the torch. Spent the bet part of 2 years faffing around the design, and trying to stick (crowbar) in 'nods' to all the ace bits of steel builders that sparked my interest in it all.
Geo as per the attached. A touch on the stubby side, though that's bikefit doing it's thing around my unflexible mamil self and Cinelli integralters being impossible to find in 1 1/8 x 42 wide x stem length less than Cavendish...
Funky bits to note off the top of my head...
Curved seat tube (as used on the Yamaguchi frames) with ISP
Curved (single arc) seat stays (similar to a Hetchins...)
Bi-laminate lugging where possible (so on-trend...)
Dura Ace di2
Cinelli Integralters
Wheelset tbh. I got burnt (though more than fairly resolved by Wiggles guarantee dept) by Madfibers...so you'd think I wouldn't look at another carbon wheel, right? Right?...http://www.equinoxcarbonwheels.co.uk/shop/typhoon/ Is the latest idea. I hope I grow out of it tbh
Colourwise the seattube, BB, inner bit of bilam headtube (and other cutouts) and forks - black, the rest in dark blue gloss with flecks of black. Lug lined in gunmetal grey to match dura ace.
