I guess the thing I noticed was that the pinstriping comes well away from the lugs in places. Wouldn't it look better if the paint was applied into the crotch of the joint between lug and tube? (painting edge of lug and a minimal amount of tube) It would have to be a thinner line and the builder would have to have left something to paint so no super thin lugs. It would be harder and more time consuming (I know-I've tried- practice on beaters!) but neater result to my eye.
