The fork crown on this frame is obviously very round and smooth. It and seems to be a perfect match for your fillet-brazed frames, although it looks great on this lugged frame as well. On lugged frames I notice you also use a similar but more "crisp" fork crown, such as the one on the recent champaign colored JKS. The F.C on the recent JKS seems perfect for a lugged frame. Can you elaborate on what you prefer to use and why? Also...it seems that flat fork crowns do not accommodate fenders as well as sloping and semi sloping crowns do, no? Thanks!

Eliminates the visual oddity that having the tube coming in at a steeper angle creates on something like a Campagnolo style dropout. At least to my eye. Tim, looking forward to seeing this one built up soon! Must say that the simplicity of the Triple-F dropouts really play nicely with the Terraplane stays.
