personally i'm not convinced, no mention of who's building it but lots of talk of 'years of experience' but how many of those as a builder? did he do a quick course in welding and call himself a framebuilder? or is it built by somebody else?
i certainly wouldn't pay £900 to somebody without a fair few frames having gone out the door.
£900 would get you something really nice from mercian, rourke and numerous others.
the twin tubes are a way to get stiffness when tube o/d's were not available in larger sizes, now columbus, deda, reynolds and true-temper all make oversize tubes that solve this problem and result in a lighter stiffer frame.
i expect a few hipsters will be seduced by the looks.
