It really carries the human touch! A carefully done TIG weld on a newer custom aluminum frame is hard to beat for asthetics. It really carries the human touch!

They also helped me to see that what I drive (drove) did not define me. What I ride might, on the other hand :-) Jack:

i’m not really sure that’s a bad thing though – what’s the point of buying a lugged or fillet brazed bike if one doesn’t also value craftsmanship and old-school construction?

not that good welding isn’t also worthy of respect – Seven, IF, and others builders build fantastic welded bikes. but one pays a premium for that kind of talent too.

Nothing comes close to its beauty and perhaps its efficiency.
