If retro means something new copying something from the past - which it does -then what is "faux- retro"?
What specifically don't you like about the frame - I have never had one - is the quality of these generally low?
Si46-
which it does
It doesn't, but I take your point: faux-retro doesn't actually make sense, because the lugs are retrograde.
I do like the frame, it's just the anachronistic design of the lugs that spoil it for me: it's a modern tubeset and the font, colour and polished stainless steel are all contemporary.
I can't think how you could build it coherently: A-head stem, outboard BB etc would all clash.
IMHO etc.

What a disappointment: those wanky faux-retro lugs.
