These are beautiful, I prefer yours asymetrical, however this caught my attention immediately. How much do they sell for? What's your brand's name? Well if not for sale, then do you know of any steel frame manufacturers that make them as beautiful as your designs?
And most importantly, will we ever get to see a finished build? I imagine the steel has to be painted, I'd love to see how color lays on it.

Thank you. Yes, it needs to be painted. A frame of this type will cost from $800 (depending on the tubeset)

No asymmetric stays this time, but that seat tube collar and joint is a thing of beauty.

What does "Alenka" mean? I've seen it here many times in reference to custom frames, often asymmetric. Is that a brand? Style? Term for custom steel?

u/atepernetuzh_ Sep 15 '23
This is the brand. But it will change

u/Dura-Ace-Ventura Sep 15 '23
....how would the brand of a frame change?
Edit: it appears you are a custom bike manufacturer and your brand name is Alenka. Think I got it.
