My Hubbuhubbuh is set up like that as well. Not for any aesthetic reason but due to the fact that Velocity doesn’t make 40 hole rear hubs in silver. Peter White recommended that hub for our use case so I went with it despite most of the bike having silver components. The wheels are far enough

Regarding builders: Joe Starck definitely built Road and All Rounder frames. I'm not so sure he built Rambouillets, unless perhaps a prototype or two? It occurs to me that the Roco Bebe kid-carrier bike is missing from your list. On Sunday, November 28, 2021 at 1:34:30 PM UTC-7

Sachs designed the lugs used on the earliest models. He didn’t make them or any frames. Waterford was the earliest vendor and as others have noted, a few other small builders have helped over the years, Nobilette most recently. Toyo did several frame models for a period of about 5 years, and

Eric, Sach's decade long waiting list is a recent invention from frame building's explosion in popularity around the late 00s / early 10s. It wasn't always that difficult to have him build you a bike. In the 90s I believe he designed some lugs for Rivendell, and then later made 3 frames or so
