Just remembered we have a couple of new Bleriot frames. 1 is a 53cm, 
the 
other is 61cm. $600.00 frame and fork. Plus, I'll mill the head tube 
and 
fork crown with the Campagnolo cutters so a headset won't wear out in 
a few 
months.

I believe facing is steel shaving, albeit very precise shaving.

My Bleriot had slight bulging of the top-and-downtubes at the headtube 
junction, so I assume Peter White is referencing some deformation in that 
general area on Bleriot frames. Or not.
