Assuming they'll look like my first-run clem, they are not smooth at all. There's a thickish bead, with visible and very evenly-spaced, overlapped "pools." The wet paint is thicker than powdercoat, so the texture is not "rough," though - it's just "relief."
Is that what you're wondering? They look very nice and strong, to me. I still have a few tig welded, steel, boutique bikes from the '90s, with almost no visible bead. Ibis, potts, etc. They look neat, but i never understood how the joints stayed together. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
