Hey Eddie,
I thought this would be a great idea years ago. Waterford could TIG them
for sure, but GP has really hung his hat on lugged steel. Me personally, I
would probably pick USA TIG'ed steel over Taiwan lugs for the same price,
assuming the designs were as similar as possible. We may well be a tiny
minority on that though and it will surely never happen.
Regards, Doug
P.S. How about TIG'gua ;^)
P.P.S. I would see it as more of a way to do domestically built
frames/forks for similar money to the less expensive RBW designs, not
another Taiwan produced frameset ("Not that there's anything wrong with
that!") a la Surly, Kogswell, Velo-Orange etc. that just happens to be even
less moolah...
