This is the 'Bro-Tour' 7005 aluminum road frame. This is the fourth one I have built and the most evolved. I have initiated a couple of new features in the seat stays - very small features but purposeful nonetheless. First is a small plate gusset at the seat tube junction for durability. Second is the slight bend in the seat stay for added tire clearance. The Bro-tour is pretty much the disc brake version for the S.L. and shares its shaped tubing and light weight. This frame is pretty large and is still only 3 lb. 9 oz. I would like to build one for myself but at just under 70 years old , I think it might be a bit silly. The owner of this one is 34 so he can still really pull it off riding something like this . I hope he likes it - there's a bit of thought and some refinement on this one , more so than the other three that I built earlier. Is it better ? Time will tell.....
