I'll take some more snaps when I have the chance, but there's nothing really fancy; just Henry James lugs with a few minutes of finish filing each, and then hidden under powder coat. I guess the only mildly notable bits are the Sachs fork crown and the handmade fender mounting tabs on the fork blades.
Very cool. I asked because I recently had a similar lugged Sportif frameset built, but I don't have it assembled yet. 73 HTA, 72.5 STA, 50 mm of rake, 43 cm. chainstays, 80 mm of BB drop. What's your BB drop? Do you run long cranks, or 170s?
