Vassago order...any takers

[rouxtjie]

Hear ye, hear ye

 

Ok I have an itch and it need scratching...I want a vassago frame for a pet project and because the shipping from the states is redonkeylous(around $300) it would make more sense to order more than one frame and split the shipping.

 

Anyone want to go in it with me?...obviously gauteng guys or gals since it will make getting the frames to you easier. My choice is between these two. Anyone input wrt these frames will also be appreciated since I haven't made up my mind between the two yet

Frames look good...

 

but the font that they used for their brand name...

 

...only 1 step above Comic Sans in my opinion!

hence the allure...they beautiful things and anyone that makes a frame called a jaberwocky with dropouts called jabernuts gets a second look from me

 

Their wetcat and fastcat geometries also makes for interesting reading
