Hi Leslie, Thank you!
You pretty much hit the nail on the head in terms of major aesthetic differences. I did make a special request to ensure the mid-stays were curved, like the Glorius. One minor thing is there is no graphic/ decal/panel on the seat tube (which is on both BFs and customs). Also, no tiny apples :) Some other differences come in the geometry itself, which is optimized for my height/PBH combo. I believe the BF comes in 52 cm and 58 cm, but this bike is a 54.5 (right in the middle). It has been made around 26" wheels, to ensure that I can take it anywhere in the world and an LBS will have tires/tubes that fit. The BF works with 650b. Having smaller wheels also allows for a larger headtube, which, to me is aesthetically pleasing. I also have braze-ons for paul racer centerpull brakes, to maintain symmetry, and light routing loop braze- ons on the inner side of the fork for my dynamo hub/front light setup. I believe the BF works with sidepulls only. Another "icing on the cake" item is a color-matched frame pump (which would be hard to come by, unless you custom painted a BF). Hmm... I think that is everything. I am sure there are other differences, like lighter tubing, etc, but I am not completely familiar with what they used.
