Is that some of their most current work ^ ?

Yes, it's the Maurice Woodrup, which is a current model named after the founder.

that firefly is pretty lush but equal parts bizzarre as to where customs are going

Any ahead external cartridge bearing headset is probably going to look a bit bulky on a steel frame compared to a trad 1" threaded loose ball headset.

realized that very same thing just after posting.
some frames are just ment to be 1inch threaded.

From functional. Deserves to be here IMO:

Once it has an alu ahead stem on it, it'll look so out of place you won't even notice the headset.

Re headsets there's a Far East co that also does nice roundy shaped 1" threadless handsets that look good with old frames. Still some graphics tho and the silver seem hard to find (although that shop on Newington Green, Push(?) had them.

No, that's a brazed steel stem, which is the one way to make ahead successfully look trad - although you generally lose the benefit of a separate faceplate at the bar interface.

Firefly

WHAT THE FUCK ?!?!

This is horrendous!
Throw it in a skip, then kill it with fire!

Jesus Christ!

Thank god someone else has some sense and taste around here...

Re?

Urgh... Why do that to the fork and stem?! Immediately think of a disabled Gecko...

Jesus, bedwetters. It might not be vanilla, but it is different and their frames are beautiful - at least it's not ANOTHER FUCKING CINELLI LASER

^this. No need to nerg me.

nerging for posting a bike you dont like is weak.
but you cant ride this bike without raeburn jacket

I don't like it but wanted to show the frame built up

^this. No need to nerg me.

Nerged.

I don't really understand the jockey-silk graphics on the fork & stem but I rather like it built up.

I actually genuinely believe it was made to go with that jacket
