Those are nice - congratulations.
Tim indeed did the design work - the actual build of the frames was a team effort by some very talented guys.

Looks like very relaxed geometry...and the fork is definitely a bit odd looking at that angle. I really like the blue and the head lugs.

I actually don't have an issue with saying it's "Tim Isaac built." I was merely adding some clarifying info. Traditionally, works that come from the workshop of the master, and are approved by the master get the signature of the master.
