Thanks for posting Jonathan, now I remember being intrigued by that "diversion attempt."
Looks awesome. Intersecting the DT means you don't have to paint a weird/difficult line around a fillet on the cream head tube, but I wonder if there is any other advantage to doing it this way. It seems like fillet brazed frames coming out of Taiwan is kind of a new thing in the past few months (Crust LB, Frank Jones Sr. BB), does that seem accurate to others? Is it cheaper than lugs?
