Really, that's about it. And when you factor in the head badge, and panel paint job, those guys get alot closer to this and maybe a bit over. I've done some Google searching and most of what's available out there is alot more spendy. Keeping in mind that there are fillets and then there are awesome fillets. I think you'll be amazed at these when they become available to see.

Granted, it takes a bit of time, but you can get a custom Curtlo for less than that. Al Wanta up near the bay area will do a custom fillet brazed for less than that, too. Seems like about $750 - $800 would be the ceiling on one of these production jobs. $1000 to $1300? Granted, it takes a bit of time, but you can get a custom Curtlo for less than that.

If that's handmade (not a oversea's mass produced ____er brand) then it seems like a no-brainer choice for the HT 29er buyer.

Heard the same here too, from probable the same source. Sounds quite promising to me too. Fillet Brazed and 'affordable', if $1k to $1300 is affordable to your wallet. Very promising idea from two very creative folks. Should be exciting. Keeping my mouth shut though...I like secrets ;). Hearing them that is. Yep.
