Was recently comparing two, and was really struck by how diferant they were, literally like night and day. Chrome, no chrome; under the BB cable route, over the BB cable route; the BB shells themselves; differant engravings on differant bits; even differant dropout constructions. I understand that *little* differences can occur from the same production framebuilder, but one of these was significantly better/nicer than the other. Comments anyone, I believe we have several owners on the list.
Much obliged ....
