....didn't really, I'm just an egomaniac wannabe framebuilder who likes to flaunt his bits around here once in a while. Ignore me...everyone else does...

Re:

I like that, looks like a good all road tourer. Tell us more, did the seatstay arrangement come about through function or form?

I think someone on this forum has one of these in a fetching blue. Great looking bike. What steel do you use?

Re:

Ta people....I've a thing about straight stays, so it was a way to design / build them so that you could run wider tyres if ye fancied, nice and stiff too (missus...). Noticed this week that there was an old BMX design that used something similar (Staats Aermet), so I think I've done summat right...this one's Columbus Zona, good lightness to strength / durability ratio, plus great to work with...

Very nice: one of those go-anywhere, do-anything machines that will never go out of fashion!
