I recall seeing long, long ago (nearly 25 years ago) a custom, 650C ("See")
titanium road bike owned by a local woman roadie, a Spectrum, I think. The
tigs were so lovely smooth that I asked her if the frame was fillet brazed.
A lot of filing, she said, in effect.But for untouched beads, those are the nicest I've seen, and I agree the frame looks beautiful. I'm glad Grant apostatized on his pledge never to join tubes with anything except lugs. (Long ago, in a Reader.) I hope he'll eventually become more liberal toward disc brakes, too -- someone suggested an option, with removable canti bosses; I think that makes very good sense. The real virtues of a Rivendell frame, IMO, are far less the aesthetics, though this counts, than the "feel", fit, and handling, which at their best (just referring to my own experience of them and my taste) are unsurpassed.
